The Michelin Pilot SX MXX3 is Michelin's Max Performance tire developed for the drivers of the world's ultra high performance sports cars. Pilot SX MXX3 tires were designed to provide a performance level similar to racing slicks with rain grooves cut into them by offering progressive handling, responsiveness and traction on dry roads with ample traction on wet roads. The Pilot SX MXX3 is not intended to be driven in snow.
Michelin Pilot SX MXX3 molds Michelin's Advanced Technology tread compound into a symmetric straight rib-type tread design featuring wide circumferential grooves and angled shoulder grooves to channel water to increase hydroplaning resistance. The uninterrupted center ribs reduce tire noise on dry roads while they sharpen steering response and provide communicative road feel. The tire's structure includes two belts made of high-tensile, lightweight steel cords which are further reinforced by size-optimized, spirally wrapped nylon cord utilizing Michelin's BAZ (Banded At Zero) Technology to improve steering response and resist distortion while they enhance ride quality and high-speed durability. Rayon cord reinforced sidewalls promote fast steering response and powerful cornering, while Michelin's cable beads help maintain the shape of a running tire for better tire/wheel uniformit

13.06.2012fromBig Dave One of the worst road tyres I have ever bought. Very high road noise, tramlined so badly I thought my suspension was shot. There was good grip in wet and dry conditions, but they lacked feel at the wheel when cornering. Lethal on anything other than a perfect road surface. They were so bad I took them off before they were fully worn. Replaced with Dunlop Sports which are so superior in every way. AVOID THESE TYRES!
The vision of our founders, Edouard and André Michelin, has guided the
development of the MICHELIN brand for more than 125 years: making driving as simple, safe, and
comfortable as possible – first with innovative tires and wheels, followed by road maps, travel guides, and
contributions toward improving traffic infrastructure. Along with this comes a strong engagement with the
environment, as modern mobility must be sustainable and not detrimental to the environment.
Each year the Michelin Group produces more than 178 million tires in 68
production facilities in 17 countries, and it operates sales networks in more than 170 countries. The product
offerings are many: from bicycle, passenger car, truck, motorcycle, and tractor tires, to tires for 5-ton earth-
moving machines. Michelin employs 111,700 people worldwide and owns one of the oldest, most famous
trademarks in the world – the legendary Michelin Man.
Targeted development: MICHELIN Total Performance
In the development of new products, Michelin faithfully pursues the concept of
"MICHELIN Total Performance", backed by the rigorous standard of always bringing together a number of
performance characteristics into a tire, to achieve optimal results. We follow this philosophy not only in the
development of our standard products, but also in motorsports. Numerous technical innovations help to
relieve burdens on the environment, drivers, and businesses. Hidden out of sight in tire casings, tread
designs, and rubber compounds, throughout their lives MICHELIN tires show their full potential: they offer
excellent grip, long life, and reduced fuel consumption thanks to their low rolling resistance.
To better understand the conditions which tires are subjected to in everyday
use, in the summer of 2014 Michelin began a unique research project – the Road Usage Lab. Vehicles from
3,000 drivers in Europe were equipped with special measurement devices to record data about the tires'
use. These valuable findings are being employed in the development of future tire models, making them
better suited to the needs of real drivers.
