Michelin Longer lasting tyres

Frenchman does not think Michelin’s proposed 18-inch tyres will lead to more overtaking, saying he preferred quick-degrading Pirelli tyres of 2012 and 2013.

Michelin Longer lasting tyres

F1 racing driver Romain Grosjean is one of the racing drivers who don’t think that the new proposal for Michelin longer-lasting tyres is a good idea.

He prefers the opposite?

The tyres that were used in the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Pirelli had some compound problems. But those were the best years, according to his point of view.

Michelin tyres last longer.

Hence, it would also include a change in tyre size, going up to 18-inch tyres. This would give the tyre a bigger rolling radius. This, I presume, would make the Michelin tyres last longer. Of course, work better on race days. Without the need to change tyres or to have to change tyres at lesser intervals.

The tyres that Michelin uses in Formula E racing are taller and narrower. This is also the general trend for tyres used on everyday passenger cars.

As I have said, this goes towards a greener tyre because of the increased rolling resistance. The car goes further with a turn of the wheel. This, combined with greener materials used in the tread compounds, such as silica, makes for a more eco-friendly tyre product.

One thing can be said, Michelin Longer lasting tyres

and that is that the F1 tyre scene certainly keeps interest in tyres flowing. A few years ago, tyres were hardly mentioned, but such is the interest today that tyres are a daily story, one way or another.

In my opinion, the general public now knows more about tyre compounds and tread patterns than they ever did. I think that is one of the reasons that our customers in Halifax now switch to winter tyres and are more tyre-conscious now than they ever were.

The internet also plays a huge part in putting across tyre development stories, including the ever-popular venture of producing more environmentally friendly tyres.

Michelin’s Serge Grisin explains why race tyre makers want bigger wheels

Michelin want bigger tyres on race cars

In their bid for a better relationship between race cars and regular passenger car users,.

So, this will improve tyre development.

Hence many of the racing world’s premiere single-seater championship events. We are heading for an  increase in wheel diameters. In a bid by Michelin to make the tyres used for racing more relevant to everyday road cars,.

The relatively new world of the  electric racing car championship,

At the moment, the top racing championships such as F1, GP2, and Formula Renault all operate their cars on 13-inch wheels, but tyre suppliers, especially Michelin, believe that using 17- or 18-inch wheels will help their technology transition more effectively into everyday road tyres.

Formula E, has become the pacesetter by using different tyres than the rest of the racing world.

Michelin’s Formula E project manager.

Serge Grisin says..”From the very start the idea was to have maximum links between our cars and the street tyres of the future,‘So what we learn in racing is much easier to transfer to a street tyre because of the championship’s similarities”.

I believe that the tyre companies will get their own way, and why not? They are the ones who are having to speed up the transition to greener and more environmentally friendly tyre products. The motorsport scene accelerates the research and development that is required to improve tyre technology.

Michelin want to use bigger tyre

to give the F1 teams more choices as to which tyre compounds to use, and to have more tyre changes during a race and practice session. I am not sure whether Pirelli, who are the present suppliers of tyres, agrees with this, but i do not think that they will give up the franchise so easily.
