1 MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4

"Michelin Pilot Sport 4" – one of the best tires for installation on a sports car. These are popular tires, in the manufacture of which the Formula 1 technology was used. It was on the first tires of the series (Michelin Pilot Sport) that the world record was set in the maximum speed of the car. Then Bugatti Veyron managed to accelerate to a space of 400 km / h.

Key advantages of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 - a clear and confident handling on a dry surface (technology "Bi-Compound") and increased durability. As most owners, even aggressive driving does not greatly affect tire wear. High control accuracy at high speeds is ensured by the directional tread pattern and aramid-nylon layer (Dynamic response technology).

The best summer tires MICHELIN for easy off road

Top Michelin tires with increased maneuverability are presented in this category. Their characteristics allow to cope with difficult conditions of dirt roads and in the off-season.

2 MICHELIN 4x4 O / R XZL

Fans of off-road vehicles and competition in the conditions of complete off-road appreciated the possibilities of all-season tires MICHELIN 4x4 O / R XZL, which have increased throughput and durability. Powerful lugs and decent tread depth guarantee overcoming any obstacles. Self-cleaning of the tread from dirt when driving on a blurred ground or marsh provide wide channels between massive blocks. Excellent tire grip demonstrates in the summer and off season. In winter, it is great in the snow, well kept on a clean road, but the ice areas for it - a real challenge.

The unique composition of the rubber compound with a metal layer, and the provided triple protective belt provide these off-road Michelin tires with increased resistance to damage and punctures. At the same time, they perfectly keep the road on highway pavement (the car behaves with confidence at a speed of 160 km / h), and no one from owners even mentioned such a concept as aquaplaning - on a wet road, the indicators of controllability and stopping distances remain high.

1 MICHELIN Latitude Cross

Latitude Cross - popular tires for SUVs and SUV class cars. They ideally manifest themselves in the event that the car is used about 65% on the highway and 35% off-road. This is the best option for those who live in the city and prefer to travel on the nature, cottage, etc., on weekends. MICHELIN Latitude Cross feel great on dry and wet asphalt, and at the same time do not lose their grip properties on the ground.

On the high resistance to abrasion and say numerous user reviews. All-road properties of the tire gives its aggressive tread pattern, a large degree of lamellization, many grooves and cuts. This provides a good cross, no slipping with a sharp acceleration and tenacity even on a slippery, icy road, despite the summer destination.

Best winter tires MICHELIN

The most confident grip on the winter road is demonstrated by Michelin tires, which have become a member of our rating in this category.

2 MICHELIN Pilot Alpin 5

The tire, published in 2017, has successfully demonstrated its performance in different conditions. It has a symmetrical directional pattern and provides excellent handling on the winter road. A large number of drainage channels allows you to maintain a firm grip on the icy sludge, even at high speed. This is facilitated by a well-designed lamella configuration, which compensates for the pressure on the tread blocks.

The owners note good stability on the ice, but one should not forget about the lack of spikes and a large inert mass of the car, controlling their actions on such difficult areas. On top of that, these Michelin tires have a low noise level and excellent directional stability (MICHELIN Pilot Alpin 5 is hard to skidding), and on road behavior (handling and braking) it is practically indistinguishable from summer tires.
