MICHELIN LATITUDE SPORT

Derived directly from motosport technology, the tread pattern and compounds of MICHELIN Pilot Sport PS2 have been used in the MICHELIN Latitude Sport.

More than simply an extension of the MICHELIN Pilot Sport PS2 range, MICHELIN Latitude Sport must also overcome the challenges brought about by 4x4 sports vehicles: larger and heavier tyres needing higher load carrying capacity at speeds similar to those of the fastest saloon cars.

The challenge: to maintain maximum contact between the tyre and the road despite the tyre deformation associated with its weight and rotational speed.

The solution: to overcome this additional deformation found in 4x4 sports tyres, MICHELIN Latitude Sport's construction features:

A zero degree belt with variable spacing limits the deformation across the tread and allows a more uniform pressure.
