It features run flat technologies designed by Michelin to allow the driver to continue for a short distance once the tyre has been punctured or the tyre pressure has dropped.
Michelin have designed the Pilot Sport 3 Zero Pressure Acoustic with an improved tyre profile to swiftly disperse any water from the path of the tyre - reducing the risk of aquaplaning.
This tyre features advanced Michelin technology to lower interior tyre noise generated. In order to do this, Michelin have applied polyurethane foam to the inner surface of the tyre which will absorb the vibration and noise produced.

What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
