5. 5 New Michelin Pilot ExaltoKey benefits and their technical proofs The new Michelin Pilot Exalto reduces on a spectacular way the perceptible difference at the steer wheel between a dry or a wet surface driving, for a more everyday pleasure and security.
A better handling and a better braking on wet surface are the guarantees:
-4s on circuit compared to old generation, means more efficient on wet, mainly in corner *
almost 1m gained when braking **
On higher level water, the speed at the start of sliding is on better level and more important than its competitors
The receipt of this promise resides on 2 key elements:
the rubber mixture
the asymmetric tread
6. 6 The mixture
Derivation of used formulas by Michelin in competition, the mélange ALM dislocates a way adequate the balance of dry/wet performance meanwhile keeping a strong mileage potential
The asymmetric tread
What asymmetry permit to gain in dry handling by exterior of the tread, does the same on wet by the interior of the tread:
in addition, the cuts on interior side are for more efficiently breaking the water film and to evacuate water into the large longitudinal canals... New Michelin Pilot ExaltoKey benefits and their technical proofs
7. 7 In curve, all contact surface is concentrated on the exterior side of tyre. The Variable Contact Patch (VCP) offers a crescent-shaped rubber surface on the road when transversals solicitations (corner) augment.
The VCP bears on :
An optimal control of contact surface.
An asymmetric tread, that its exterior part is less excised as shown here-under. New Michelin Pilot ExaltoKey benefits and their technical proofs
