New asymmetric sport tread pattern, fifth generation design inspired by motorsport, with wider inner grooves increasing sea to land ratio and outer rigid blocks boosting dry grip. Unique longitudinal and lateral grooves channel water efficiently, with wider longitudinal grooves directing water to lateral grooves and wider lateral grooves ensuring effective drainage. Michelin full sidewall velvet finish, inspired by racing with diamond light reflection for a premium black velvet touch. New tread wear indicator enables easy detection of irregular wear to optimize tread life. Instant response technology, derived from track tech with high strength polyamide and nylon cap layer, delivers precise steering response and accurate cornering. MaxTouch construction increases contact area and evenly distributes stress from acceleration, braking and cornering, enhancing performance and mileage. Variable contact area 3.0 evenly spreads cornering pressure across the contact patch for better grip, handling and durability.
