The use of Michelin Motorsports Technology has resulted in a dual tread design and dual compound tread for excellent performance in both wet and dry conditions. The asymmetric tread design features a continuous intermediate and center rib as well as large outer shoulder blocks for outstanding dry handling and crisp cornering. The inner tread design features wide circumferential grooves and lateral notches for improved water drainage and enhanced wet traction. Variable contact patch technology offers a wider contact patch for increased road contact, adding to cornering capabilities and providing straight line stability. The internal structure comprises dual high-tensile, lightweight steel belts reinforced by hybrid ply of aramid and nylon for increased durability, steering control and smoother ride.
