The Pilot Sport EV is Michelin's Max Performance Summer tire, developed for drivers of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) looking for a tire specially tailored to the vehicle's needs. The Pilot Sport EV is engineered to balance traction and tread life while maintaining comfort, low noise, and satisfying handling capabilities. Along with performance and comfort, the Pilot Sport EV is built to offer superb traction in dry and wet conditions. Max Performance Summer tires are not intended to be serviced, stored, or driven in near or below freezing temperatures, through snow, or on ice. The Pilot Sport EV utilizes a dual compound, molded into the tire's asymmetric tread pattern to provide separate, yet synchronous performance characteristics. The center of the tread features the high-stiffness ElectricGrip compound, for maximum grip specifically for EV torque transmission. The high-efficiency GreenPower shoulder compound is designed to reduce energy consumption for increased range. The Pilot Sport EV's optimal contact patch evenly distributes the forces of acceleration, braking, and cornering. Michelin Acoustic Technology employs a custom-designed polyurethane foam to muffle noise, enabling drivers and passengers to benefit from hands-free communication device use while lessening driver fatigue on long drives. Wide circumferential channels and lateral grooves effectively pump water away from the tire for optimal hydroplaning resistance. The internal construction of the Pilot Sport EV includes two Greenbelt steel top belts intended to improve rolling resistance, and a reinforced polyester sidewall with a polyamide cap ply for dependable handling and stability at high-speed. Characteristics: Exceptional Handling. Low Rolling Resistance. Chosen by Premium Carmakers.
