About the Michelin Pilot Sport EV

Summer High Performance/Ultra High Performance Passenger Car tire Specifically for Electric Vehicles (EVs).

Features

* ElectricGrip Compound with high stiffness rubber in center part of tread* MaxTouch construction optimzes the tire's contact with the road* GreenPower compound - high efficiency rubber compound on the shoulders* Acoustic technology - A custom designed polyurethane foam solution* 20,000 Mile Limited Treadwear Warranty

Benefits

* Provides maximum grip for efficient EV torque transmission* Evenly distributes the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering to deliver long tread life without sacrifice* Reduces energy consumption for longer ranges and delivers long-lasting mileage despite the heavier weight of high performance electric vehicles* Muffles noise resonance for quieter interior noise when driving on changing road conditions

Understanding the 315/35R22 XL size

In the size code 315/35R22, 315 is the section width in millimetres (about 12.4"). 35 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 35% of the width, or roughly 110.3 mm. R22 means radial construction on a 22-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 30.7".

The load index 111 means each tire supports up to 2,403 lbs — about 9,612 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol Y certifies the tire to 186 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

What the Michelin Pilot Sport EV is built for

The Michelin Pilot Sport EV is a summer tire, tuned for maximum dry and wet grip in warm conditions; it is not intended for near-freezing temperatures. Fitment category: Passenger Car, CAR, Performance, UHP.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 320 B A. The treadwear grade of 320 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade B measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $434.99 per tire, a full set of four costs $1739.96. That is about 15% below the average price of the 22 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 20,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $87.00 per 1,000 miles across the set.
