Michelin motorsport: a more sustainable tire with 71% renewables

Michelin believes that tomorrow everything will be sustainable. To achieve this, Michelin's research centers are focusing on key levers to significantly reduce the environmental impact of tires. The introduction of renewable or recycled material in tire design - without compromising performance - is part of this exciting challenge. The new raw materials require intensive research to understand their behavior and how they can be used efficiently. And what could be better than a few laps on track to demonstrate how they perform? Michelin proposes to share with you the latest version of its sustainable demonstrator tire.
