Michelin’s Formula E 'Gamble' Ends With a Sustainable Road Tire for EVs - Jalopnik

After eight years with Formula E, Michelin is being replaced by Korean firm Hankook as the electric racing series’ only supplier of the all-weather tires its cars run on.

“We used the Formula E laboratory to be able to present the Pilot Sport EV, a road car tire that is a high performance tire for electric vehicles.

Today, this tire takes everything Michelin learned while developing different compounds for Formula E and puts it out on the highway for regular customers.

It’s also the same tire used on the Formula E Porsche Taycan safety car.

Now, the company says it will take everything it learned about more sustainable race tires in Formula E to other series.
