The Sport Power Compound is made of 3 components:
Wet Grip Elastomer
Wet Grip Elastomer is a high dense polymer that is extremely flexible. It conforms to the slightest bump in the road and breaks the water film covering the road.
MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 owes its excellent grip on wet roads to this polymer.
Long Lasting Elastomer
Long Lasting Elastomer is a polymer characterised by a high resistance to wear. On each revolution of the wheel, the tread compound stretches and flexes allowing it to grip the road surface without tearing the bonds in the tread compound.
MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 owes its remarkable mileage potential to this polymer.
Silica
Silica is a material characterised by its low energy loss. At each turn of the wheel, it allows the rubber to efficiently transmit the power of the engine virtually without loss.
MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 owes its remarkable energy efficiency to this polymer.
