All-season tire Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus is designed for use in regions with moderately cold climates. It was developed specifically for the most powerful versions of passenger cars, featuring corresponding ride characteristics. Along with this, it demonstrates the "signature" properties inherent to all tires of the French manufacturer, first and foremost, an increased lifespan.
The design of the tread pattern unequivocally hints at the possibility of dominating on the road, primarily in the summer, especially on wet pavement. Efficiency on snowy surfaces is limited, but remains at a level sufficient to provide a high level of safety in such conditions. To a large extent, this is ensured by the Variable Contact Patch technology. The special design of the carcass, sidewall profile, and tread allows not only to expand the contact patch but also to distribute the load evenly across the road surface, even when dynamically passing turns. This noticeably simplifies control over the trajectory, providing excellent directional stability and stability.
The tire's tread is made using the Helio+ technology. The special compound composition allows it to remain elastic at temperatures below zero degrees, while demonstrating the corresponding class of tire resistance to abrasive wear, tears, and cracking, even in strong heat during the summer. Another component that ensures the tire's performance on winter roads is the Biting Edge grooves. They allow the tread to retain snow, compacting it, and increase traction on snowy surfaces.
