http://www.eurocarnews.com - MICHELIN US - A preferred, long-time partner to high-profile carmakers, Michelin has been working closely for decades with the world's most prestigious brands to design exceptional vehicles that deliver unrivaled performance. Following the MICHELIN Pilot SX MXX3, which was original equipment on the McLaren F1, Bugatti EB 110, Dodge Viper, Porsche 911 and Ferrari F 550 in 1990; the MICHELIN Pilot Sport, which prominently equipped the Pagani Zonda, Ferrari 360 Modena and Maserati Quattroporte in 1997; and the MICHELIN Pilot Sport PS2, the first tire with a dual compound tread in 2003; the MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport has crossed a new threshold. The information and technology derived from motorsport racing were crucial in satisfying the requirements of the different manufacturers. While each carmaker has its own philosophy and high-performance criteria, all of them agree on at least one point: a tire that is certified must highlight and enhance a vehicle's personality and be suited for both everyday road use and track driving, without compromising safety. The MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport was developed by Porsche, BMW M and Ferrari engineers according to these specifications. In 2010, it received the Ferrari Technology Award. It has already been approved by Ferrari (for the 458 Italia and 599 GTO) and by Alpina (for its B5).
