- Runs Longer
- Slow wear tread compound with Alternative Bridging Technology
Alternating Bridging reinforces the rigidity of tread blocks. With rigidity enhanced, the tread blocks move less freely, reducing the rate of tyre wear. This "Bridge "connection between tread blocks limits their flexibility, preventing rapid tyre wear without compromising on wet grip.
- Saves more fuel
- Silica Based tread Compounding
Silica Based tread Compound reduces friction between the rubber molecules generating less heat. With less heat generated, less energy is lost, thus reducing fuel consumption.
"GREEN X"Marking*
The Green X marking on the tyre sidewall indicates MICHELIN's leadership in fuel saving. It represents MICHELIN's commitment to reducing fuel usage and CO2 emissions, while maintaining excellence in longevity and safety - * Michelin Energy XM2 12 " & 13" tyres contain hybrid tread compound that leads to low rolling resistance.Michelin Energy XM2 14" & above contain full silica based tread compound
- Is Robust & Safer
- IRONFLEXTechnology
IRONFLEX technology for a unique combination of strength and flexibility. Coupled with an optimized casing design, the new tyre is better able to absorb and effectively dissipate peak stresses generated when it comes into contact with any type of road hazard.
- Micro Resilient Tread:
The new formulation of micro resilient tread compound provides a firm grip with the road surface which helps to reduce the braking distance in dry condition and thus contributes to reducing accidents and improving safety. This tread compound also lasts longer giving more mileage potential.
- Wet Grip
Longitudinal grooves contribute most to the water evacuation. MICHELIN Energy XM2 has more than 20% higher volume ratio of longitudinal groove comparing to previous generation MICHELIN Energy tyre

Michelin Pilot SPORT 3
Pilot SPORT 3 Pilot SPORT 3
MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 is designed for Driving Pleasure and Security in Both Wet and Dry conditions.
- Better road holding in bends and three metres shorter braking distance on wet roads
- More driving pleasure: very precise steering recognized by car manufacturers
- Outstanding energy efficiency and long lasting
- Inspired by our experience in Motorsports
- thanks to more than 10 consecutive Victories at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
- Better Roadholding
- Thanks to Anti Surf System providing optimum grip on wet surfaces
The curved shoulder design of The MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 enables it to cut into the water, delaying the onset of aquaplaning without reducing the total contact area with the road. With a more curved shoulder area, MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 is more efficient at evacuating water, improving safety in all conditions.
- Precise Steering
- Thanks to Programmed Distortion Design using digital technology to provide driving precision
This design provides optimum road contact area and treads compound temperature for any force required from the tyre. The result comes from 50,000 hours of simulation and over 100,000 km of vehicle tests. - At low speeds, the tread pattern remains flexible and allows the rubber to distort enough to reach a good operating temperature.
- At high speeds, the tread pattern maintains its stiffness which prevents the rubber compound exceeding its optimum operating temperature.
- Fuel Saving and Longevity
- Thanks to an innovative and revolutionary Sport Power Compound
- High performance and energy efficiency with "Sport Power Compound":
1) This revolutionary tread compound enables MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 to combine excellent grip on wet surfaces with reduced rolling resistance.
2) MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 tyre offers 10% more longevity than its predecessor.
3) Such a performance break through is thanks to the experience gained from more than 10 consecutive Le Mans 24 Hour victories, With total long lasting performances and reduction in rolling resistance, MICHELIN is thinking about the environment even with its sport tyres.
- 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.
