Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tires

Pleasant driving without any problems may seem like a pipe dream, but with tires ** Michelin Pilot Sport 3 ** this dream becomes a reality.

New tires ensure vivid sensations from driving. While some include impressions from driving to the concepts of subjective company Michelin is very clear reality. Tires ** Pilot Sport 3 ** provide high accuracy control that allows the rider to fully control the movement of the car and know exactly how it will respond to the slightest movement of the steering wheel.

These pleasant impressions from driving combined with security. Statistics collected in Europe, show that traffic accidents are most likely to occur when changing weather conditions. When the tyre grip weakens, cornering and braking acquire particular importance from a security point of view. Due to unique technology MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 provide excellent traction on wet roads. According to a comparative study conducted by the German independent technical organization TÜV Automotive SÜV, new MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 provides a better grip when cornering and braking distances on is 3 meters shorter than the previous model, which was recognized as the automakers for their performace. All this proves the excellent characteristics of the new generation of MICHELIN tyre.

The above qualities make the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 «responsible» sports bus, because increased driving pleasure does not entail any risks for other characteristics. While this list of advantages would not be complete without additional benefits-the energy efficiency of new tires. Improving performance in all areas is truly difficult technological task when developing tires.

This task was successfully accomplished in new tyre ** Michelin Pilot Sport 3 ** by improving security and simultaneous reduction in fuel consumption, which means savings for car owners money, but for the environment Wednesday-reducing CO2 emissions. In addition to fuel economy, odometer MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 was markedly increased-10% compared with MICHELIN Pilot Sport PS2 tires that have so far served as a benchmark in its class, in part to foster. This rate has a positive effect on reducing the consumption of raw materials. In other words, to drive a certain distance, it is necessary to make fewer and fewer to recycle tires tires, discarded.

As a result, new MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 provide a winning combination of three advantages: increased safety, driving pleasure and environmental friendliness.

By combining these three qualities of the Michelin company has managed to meet the basic needs of the sports car drivers. In 2008 the Institute TNS Sofres interviewed more than 100 owners of sports cars in Germany, Britain and Italy. The survey clearly showed that consumers expect from the tyres three things: they want to enjoy driving without sacrificing safety and durability.

To determine these needs quite easy, however, the introduction of the right technologies in one bus, such as the new MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3, is a formidable technological challenge. The Michelin company was able to solve it through numerous innovations. The Michelin company has managed to solve it thanks to numerous innovations.

To provide increased security on wet roads, precision control on dry roads and long lifespan of the tread of the new MICHELIN Pilot Sport ** 3 ** Michelin research units have created integrated product, using technological advances in materials, geometry and structure of tyres.

Firstly, the Michelin company has developed a unique formula of the compound Green Power Compound, which combined three innovative element. The new composition is designed to provide maximum traction on wet roads.

Secondly, the company created Anti Surf System, a special form of tire sidewall, which allows you to give large quantities of water. And, finally, Michelin used programmable technology» deformation Distortion Programmed bus Tire. This innovative technology improves steering precision and simultaneously increases the lifespan of the tread.

** Green Power Compound ensures excellent wet grip, fuel economy and mileage increase ** Above shows a magnified image of the structure of compound MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3, contains three innovative element, United for the first time in the bus. Each of these elements plays a specific role: ** Molecular chain, shown in red, is a new èlastomeru, which allows to improve wet traction.

** Blue chain correspond to unique èlastomeru, which increases the service life of the tread.

** Silica Particles are shown in green. Added to the rubber mixture helps to reduce fuel consumption.

** Wet Grip Elastomer is a polymer that provides grip even with wet asphalt ** developed by Michelin Wet Grip polymer Elastomer differs a great density and exceptional elasticity. These properties allow you to tread split water film and provide grip even with tiny patches of dry surface. Thus, this polymer plays a key role when braking on wet roads.

** Long Lasting Elastomer plays a crucial role in increasing mileage tires ** rubber compound also includes another polymer, featuring exceptional strength. With every turn of the wheel feature Long Lasting Elastomer is stretched to the limit, but never breaks. This feature maintains the integrity of the compound and thus increases the durability of the tires.

** Silica is a key component to reducing fuel consumption ** each circulation bus wheel is deformed under the weight of the load it in contact with the road surface. Because the structure of the tyre deforms, bus components are heated, and a portion of the energy transmitted engine is lost. Silica particles contained in rubber, help to limit the amount of heat that helps reduce fuel consumption and therefore CO2 emissions.

** Superior water drainage using Anti Surf System ** to reduce braking distance of three meters, compared to the previous model in new tires ** MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 ** applies a unique elastomer Grip Wet Elastomer, however, research departments have not stopped this and improved the design of the tyres as well. They drew particular attention to form sidewall rounding it to provide increased water drainage.

Traditional tyres have rectangular profile when viewed from the front. On the left picture such a profile is shown in red.

Developed by Michelin system Anti Surf System, shown in the form of a rounded profile on the left side of the green area, reduces the risk of aquaplaning began. Compared to conventional tires with the same size of the contact patch, the sidewalls of the tyres MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 less in contact with water.

** Programmable tyre deformation Technology Programmed Distortion Tire for more accurate control on dry roads and increase the total bus mileage ** precision and responsiveness are highly dependent on the temperature of the tyres and its deformation.

Tire MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 applies original technology, which allows to solve this problem by maintaining the optimal temperature compound tread in any conditions. At low speed tread warms up quickly, reaching necessary to ensure good adhesion level of elasticity. But at high speeds protector becomes more rigid, preventing excessive temperature rise.

These characteristics are the result of 50 thousand hours simulation tests. For the development and manufacture of tread used special software to 3D designing Dassault Systems Catia ®, which is standard in the automotive industry, aviation and space industry. Then the road tests were conducted (about 100 thousand km) to confirm the effectiveness of the technology.

** Technology Programmed Distortion Tire tire Michelin Pilot Sport 3 ** MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 (top) quickly reaches the optimum operating temperature, which leads to an increase in the elasticity and therefore to the improvement of adhesion. Standard bus (bottom) remains at a low temperature.

Thanks to Programmed technology Distortion stiffness MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 (top) is increasing at a high speed. This avoids overheating, resulting in a standard bus (bottom).

** Pressure in spot contact (Dan/mm ²) ** when turning pressure spot contact MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 remains constant and is distributed evenly, as can be seen from the predominance of green color in the figure below. Does not raise excessive overheating, which improves steering precision and prolong the life of the tread.

In the standard tyre pressure explicitly and the corresponding heat (red), which leads to loss of precision control. In overheated areas may increase the wear, leading to a substantial reduction in mileage.
