50985 - 245/40ZR17 - Pilot Sport® - MICHELIN® Tires

Technical Specifications of Item #50985

Powerful wet traction, handling, and braking with progressive, driver-friendly dry handling thanks to Advanced Technology tread rubber compounds.
Stabilized tread in high-torque applications due to stiff (High Modulus) undertread.
Quick response, good ride compliance and excellent damping of noise and vibration because of high-tensile, low-mass steel cords and belts.
Steering feedback is better matched with steering response thanks to a special high-hysteresis compound surrounding the bead area that minimizes the lag time between steering input and directional response.
Superb running shape is maintained and easy mounting is facilitated due to wound cable beads and specially designed bead seating area.
Powerful, predictable cornering thanks to rayon casing with ultra-reinforced sidewalls and light-weight rim protectors.
Build to resist centrifugal distortion, optimizing high-speed handling and durability provided by size-optimized BAZ Technology (spiral-wrapped nylon Banded At Zero degrees to tire rotation).
Sharp steering response and feedback for exceptionally faithful, communicative road feel are fostered by this continuous center rib and elongated rolling footprint.
Outstanding wet traction and low tire noise on dry roads are provided by these radically swept-back lateral grooves.
