Michelin Tyres - A Better Way Forward (Power One, Pilot Power 2CT, Pilot Road 2 etc)

[Unique_Motorsports]

With the inaugural MotoGP Indianapolis Grand Prix taking place at the world's most famous race track on September 14, it's appropriate to examine how racing R&D influences street-tire technology.

 

"The link between race tires and street tires is much closer than many riders realize," says Lisa Guest, communications manager for Michelin motorcycle tires. "Michelin introduced multi-compound tires to GP racing in 1994. Today, this technology is found in our Pilot® Power 2CT, Pilot® Road 2 and Power Race® tires. Likewise, radial construction, synthetic rubber mixtures, silica reinforcement and semi-slick tread designs were all pioneered by Michelin in Grand Prix racing, then introduced in our production tires. With 26 GP world championships, Michelin has turned the race track into our own test lab, with the world's best riders doing the testing."

 

Michelin's racing programs have never shied away from competition, and the MotoGP World Championship is no exception. MotoGP bikes put out more than 230 horsepower, and with no aerodynamic appendages to produce downforce, MotoGP bikes depend entirely on their tires for grip.

 

In this demanding environment, and against stiff competition from another major tire maker, Michelin builds tires that withstand 200mph top speeds, and lean angles approaching 60 degrees from vertical. Since 1975, Michelin riders have won 26 world championships and more than 350 Grands Prix.

 

Michelin's MotoGP research and development continues 12 months out of the year. Since the end of the 2007 season, Michelin chemists and engineers have focused on warm-up, operating range, side grip and traction.

 

Edge grip is vital to MotoGP bikes. Michelin has worked hard to allow riders to brake deep into corners and then accelerate hard from the corner apex. Yamaha rider Colin Edwards confirmed that Michelin has achieved this goal: "The new tires are just awesome. You can brake to the apex, full lean and then just hammer it on."

 

Michelin's performance in a wide range of conditions has also benefited riders.

 

"In China, our riders were able to race with the same tires that they had used in practice, even though on race day, track temperature was 23 degrees [73 degrees Fahrenheit] less than it had been the day before," said Jean-Philippe Weber, Michelin's director of motorcycle racing. "This wouldn't have been possible a few years ago."

 

Rapid development of MotoGP bikes puts pressure on tire companies to keep up. "Our tires are very different to what we were using 12 months ago," Weber revealed. "We've already seen that lap times are a lot faster – the Qatar race was 30 seconds faster than last year's."It's a long championship and to be in with a chance of winning the title you have to be both very fast and very consistent, which is never easy."
