Technology

  • LTT - Light Tire Technology

    LTT - Light Tire Technology

    LTT marks a fresh approach to sports tyre design by simultaneously optimising the construction, profile and constituent elements of the tyre. Its mission from the outset was to save weight.
    LTT employs advanced materials like aramid fibre as used in the aerospace industry and to guarantee longevity, the thickness of the tread is unchanged!

  • 2CT - Two Compound Technology

    Latest Generation 2CT - Two Compound Technology

    MICHELIN 2CT dual-compound technology successfully accomplishes two conflicting ideals: wear resistance in the centre of the tread, and grip on the shoulders.
    MICHELIN Power Pure sees MICHELIN's 2CT dual-compound technology break new ground by providing even more soft rubber on the shoulders. This softer compound kicks in sooner, too.
