A Ladoux Michelin Energy Saver and Michelin Pilot Sport 3

As we have already mentioned in a previous article, writing Automobili10 has been in recent days in Clermont - Ferrand, where Michelin has its headquarters and most of his life, because here we find the department for the construction of tires at high performance, Cataroux placed on the site, and testing center located in Ladoux, where the well-known tire dealer has 19 tracks to test their own roofs.

Right here we have tested with hand-editing the goodness of two major new Michelin 2011, namely the Energy Saver tires and the Pilot Sport 3, both designed to improve overall performance, but one, the first, more oriented toward everyday life, while the latter is intended for people who use the car, looking more emotions.

The Energy Saver is proposed to consume less fuel, and at the same time, ensuring a longer life of the tire also reducing emissions. To do that Michelin has made a cover that meets less resistance in the advancement, or can develop friction values lower, thus allowing the car to be less difficult to traverse a road.

In Michelin have made us see how this can go on making two identical cars, two Peugeot 308, covers uprights, however, different tires, or Energy Saver and Kormoran on the other. Both cars were allowed to run with the engine off at a common speed of 34 km / h, what to see which of the two would stop to first just because of the friction generated by the tire, bringing out the goodness of the Energy Saver, the which stops further on, has been shown to produce a friction of 25% less than the tire Kormoran.

Quite similar features also found on the Pilot Sport 3, which is mounted on a BMW 330 i, has been tested by us on a wet track, which has shown excellent qualities of traction and braking, thanks to a profiling and design documents to allow a high water drainage, allowing the driver to maintain an excellent control of the car in poor grip conditions.

Michelin short leads its market in 2011 both covers high-performance, able to make us consume less fuel and in terms of tire wear, while ensuring safety and driving pleasure, combined with excellent performance for those who, at the wheel of his car, look for the fun.
