Description

Michelin Pilot Sport EV (255/45R19 104W XL)

Electrified Performance. Master the Torque. Silent Control.

The Pilot Sport EV was developed using Michelin’s experience in Formula E. It is designed to handle the instant torque of electric motors while significantly reducing interior cabin noise and maximizing battery range.

✨ Key 2026 Performance Technologies

• 🔇 Michelin Acoustic Technology:

  Inside the tyre, a specialized polyurethane foam muffler is bonded to the inner liner. This technology reduces interior cabin noise by nearly 20%, neutralizing the “cavity noise” that becomes highly noticeable in electric vehicles without engine sound.

• ⚡ ElectricGrip Compound:

  The center of the tread features a high-stiffness rubber compound. This is engineered to handle the instantaneous torque of electric motors, preventing the rapid tyre wear often seen when EVs accelerate hard from a standstill.

• 🔋 MaxTouch Construction for Range:

  The tyre’s internal structure and footprint are optimized to distribute pressure evenly. This reduces rolling resistance, which can help extend your EV battery range by up to 60 km over the total life of the tyre compared to standard UHP tyres.

• 🌧️ Wet Grip Mastery:

  Despite its focus on efficiency, the Pilot Sport EV maintains an A-rating for wet grip. It uses high-density silica and functional elastomers to ensure short braking distances during heavy rain, even when the vehicle is carrying a heavy battery pack.

• 🏁 Dual Sport Tread Heritage:

  The outer shoulder features the same rigid blocks found on the Pilot Sport 4S, ensuring that your EV feels sharp and precise in corners rather than “heavy” or “vague.”

📊 Performance Summary

• EV Efficiency: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Maximum range optimization)

• Cabin Silence: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Class-leading noise reduction)

• Handling: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Maintains the “Pilot Sport” DNA)

• Longevity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Significantly better than non-EV sports tyres)

The Michelin Pilot Sport EV is the premier choice for 2026 if you want to enjoy the full performance of your electric car without compromising on range or quietness.
