Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (AO) 255/40R19 100Y XL

Description

Michelin Pilot Sport 3. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather tire; Fuel efficient drive; High speed controllability; Audi tire Model; . OVERVIEW: The Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (AO) is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for select Audi vehicles.The tire has exceptional summer weather traction. This is due to the Green Power Compound and symmetric tread pattern. This compound provides great dry and wet weather traction while also making the tire very fuel efficient. The tread design grips the road well in dry and wet conditions, but the model is not meant to be used in winter weather. In colder temperatures the tread compound loses its great traction and makes the tire less safe to use. The model avoids hydroplaning by eliminating water from below the tire footprint with the unique Anti Surf System that was created to combat hydroplaning. The system uses an optimized casing profile and specially placed tread grooves to enhanced wet weather traction and maintain road contact, even in deeper water.The Green Power tire compound lowers the tire’s overall weight, which eases the driving pressure off of the tread area. This results in a reduced rolling resistance, which is the force that determines how much energy the vehicle uses up to maintain the tire’s motion. The decreased rolling resistance lessens the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, making the model more environmentally friendly and fuel efficient. The lowered rolling resistance also slows down the tread wear rate. The tread is not under such immense driving pressure, allowing its life and usability to last longer.The superb summer weather traction and constant road contact increase the tire’s braking ability and handling. The combination of the tread compound and design improves the braking ability. It creates friction at the moment of braking, which spreads out across the road contact area. This ensures a shortened braking distance, even in wet weather, making the tire’s use safer. The symmetric tread pattern upgrades the steering responsiveness and precision. The tire maintains constant road contact with the boosted traction, which offers a quicker and more accurate steering responsiveness. As a result, the driver is capable of confidently controlling the tire in all summer conditions.The model’s excellent high speed performing capability is thanks to the specially designed reinforced sidewalls. The reinforced sidewalls prevent the tire from deforming under the driving pressure. Since the tire constantly maintains its optimal tire shape, it is able to perform easily and safely at high speeds. The high speed durability and road gripping ability provide a safer driving experience in summer conditions.This specific Pilot Sport 3 (AO) tire model was made to be the original equipment tire of select Audi vehicles. It was manufactured to allow the vehicle to perform at its highest capability. The tire went through rigorous tests to receive the AO marking that indicates its Audi Original status.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
