Tires may not be the most glamorous component of a car, but when it comes to handling, performance, and safety, they play a crucial role. For high-performance vehicles like the Mercedes-AMG GT, having the right tires is even more critical. This is why Mercedes partnered with Michelin to develop a bespoke set of tires specifically for the new AMG GT. What might surprise many is that this process took Michelin three years and involved testing 25 different compounds before arriving at the final version.
The tires in question are the Michelin Pilot Sport S 5, but the version fitted on the AMG GT is not the same as the off-the-shelf model. Instead, Michelin engineers created a customized tire, carefully designed to meet the unique performance demands of the AMG GT. This involved extensive work on the rubber compounds and tire construction, with the aim of perfectly balancing the vehicle's suspension, steering, and braking.
The Tyre Reviews YouTube channel recently visited Michelin’s testing grounds in Ladoux, France, where they gained an inside look at what it took to develop these high-performance tires. The tires use a multi-compound design, with different materials applied to various parts of the tread to optimize performance across a range of conditions.
