Michelin Pilot Sport 3 Tyre Aims to Take Driving Enjoyment up a Gear: New tyre focuses on luxury car segment, performance improvements

摘要

Michelin launched the latest generation of its Pilot Sport family of high performance tyres with a testing event at the company's Almeria test track in Spain. However in addition to a fresh tread design, the new Pilot Sport 3 product sees the company modifying the tyre line's market focus onto luxury, rather than ultra-high performance vehicles. You may remember a recent story on our website (tyrepress.com), which commented on reports that the Pilot Sport 2 tyres Michelin fits to the Bugatti Veyron are the most expensive in the world. Well, to make an exaggerated point, that is exactly the kind of car the Pilot Sport 3 (PS3) won't be fitted on. A new special edition Pilot Sport UHP variant is expected to serve this niche.
