Description
MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3
For sporty vehicles and powerful saloons
- Excellent grip on wet road surface
- Energy-efficient and durable
The Pilot Sport 3 promises better handling in bends, up to 3 metres shorter braking distance on wet roads, very precise steering and excellent energy efficiency and mileage.
Anti-surf system:
The profile design of the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3 enables effective breaking and dividing of the water film. This improves water drainage and reduces the risk of aquaplaning.
GREEN "X" marking:
The internal "GREEN X" marking on the tyre's sidewall underlines the environmental aspects of the Pilot Sport 3 - because it helps to reduce fuel consumption and thus reduces CO2 emissions.
Green Power Compound:
The innovative rubber compound ensures excellent grip even on wet roads with low fuel consumption and high mileage.
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
