Michelin Latitude Sport tires

Creating new tires ** Michelin Latitude Sport ** became possible thanks to two fundamental factors: unique experience in Michelin racing and technology, specially developed for sports tires.

A unique experience in the field of sport Michelin service new tires ** Latitude Sport **.

When you create a new tyre tread design and were used in compound Pilot Sport 2 tires (étalon Michelin tires for sports cars segment class).

Specially designed tread pattern for new tires ** Michelin Latitude Sport **.

** Tire Michelin Latitude Sport ** is not simply an enlarged copy of the tires ** Pilot Sport 2 **. It is adapted to the requirements for cars SUV class. We are talking about a larger and heavier tyre with increased loading capacity compared with the sedan, but with such speed qualities which equate it with tires most "fast" cars.

Towards the establishment of a bus had to overcome significant technological difficulties. The harder tyre, the greater the centrifugal force acting on its protector. This causes his distortions, which, in turn, reduces the contact area of the tyre with road. Ultimately, all of this affects the behaviour of the car.

To combat this phenomenon, bright sport tires have a discernible "SUV tire, Michelin Latitude Sport ** ** used a special design, the rigidity of which is ensured by the unique layer of OMB. This layer extended shoulders and its filaments are located with variable pitch. Let us explain ...

The first solution: brekernyj layer, extended at shoulder-tread ** Latitude Sport ** strengthened special nylon brekernym layer positioned at an angle of zero degrees to the axis of rotation of the tyre.

Through 0°-OMB layer, extended in the shoulder zone, the bus ** Michelin Latitude Sport ** does not occur in no significant deformation of the tread.

The second solution: threads 0°-OMB layers are variable pitch Centrifugal force acting on the tread, not homogeneous over the entire width of the tyre. It varies and depends on the recesses and projections, that is, the location of its units and grooving The use of 0°-OMB layer with variable pitch thread allows you to selectively and with highest precision combat deformation caused by centrifugal forces across the tread width of 0°-brekernyj layer with variable pitch thread represents a new development in technology used for the first time ever Michelin Tyre manufacturing ** Michelin Latitude Sport **.
