Record Breaking Performance: Michelin draws on its competition background to deliver the latest generation performance tyres

摘要

Ruling the high performance roost at Michelin is the Pilot Sport PS2 and the Pilot Sport Cup +. The first of these is a tyre that, in April 2008, earned the distinction of been the tyre fitted to the worlds fastest production car - a Shelby Super- Cars' Ultimate Aero, fitted with the Michelin tyres, seta new record of 256.18 mph (412.28 km/h) during tests in the US. This accomplishment, the first occasion in which a US vehicle manufacturer has held the speed record since 1967, took place with little to no wear to the Michelin tyre.
