Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus 285/40R19 103V AS All Season Tire

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus (N1). FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; N1 rated for Porsche models; Feul efficient drive; Precise steering responsiveness; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus (N1) is a high performance all season tire manufactured for performance vehicles.The special blend of the TriFusion Compound improves the all weather traction by combining three different weather compounds that individually grip the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather. This promotes excellent traction year round. The high angle shoulder tread grooves and the silica-base of the combined compounds increases the hydroplaning resistance by eliminating water and slush from below the tire footprint. The better traction and water dispersing ability improve the tire’s performing ability.The model is marked with the N1’rating, which means that the tire was made especially for select Porsche vehicles and that it is the second approved model of the Pilot Sport A/S Plus for them. The tire went through numerous tests to be given this marking. It was manufactured to offer excellent safety, high speed performance and durability and great fuel efficiency. The tire brings out the best performing capability of the Porsche models, all while not sacrificing its driving safety.The tire uses Michelin’s Green X Technology which uses a compound to make the tire more environmentally friendly and fuel and cost efficient. The compound lowers the tire’s overall weight and, with it, its rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the driving pressure affecting the tire while it is in motion and it determines how much energy the vehicle needs to maintain their motion. The lessened rolling resistance reduces the vehicle’s CO2 emissions and fuel consumption as well, making it more ecologically conscious.The model’s special reinforced internal structure features the FAZ or Filament At Zero Degrees Technology, which maintains constant road contact. This is a single, spirally wrapped nylon reinforcement of the filaments that are placed between the tread area and the internal steel belts. This enhancement optimizes the tire shape and does not let it deform under the driving pressures affecting the tire. As the tire maintains its shape, it improves the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire’s stability prevents the tire from wobbling, while its steering responsiveness offers a quick and precise reply to the driver’s commands. The combination of the two promotes easier handling and controllability.The Pilot Sport A/S Plus (N1)’s special Max Touch Construction provides a unique road contact patch. This prevents irregular tread wear from forming along the tread area as it evenly distributes the driving pressure across the tread. The constant even wear extends the tire’s usability and its tread life. 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.
