Porsche and Michelin have teamed up to deliver exciting news for 911 GT3 RS drivers. They've unveiled the Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 (PSS5), designed to enhance performance on wet tracks and in cold conditions — think of it as a performance boost for Britain's unpredictable weather. Impressively, this new tire can make a GT3 RS lap 10 seconds quicker on a soaked circuit.
Porsche GT mastermind Andreas Preuninger highlights that the PSS5 extends the GT3 RS’s track usability into the cooler months, meeting the desires of performance seekers who crave additional track days in spring and autumn.
- Reduced Aquaplaning: Developed with input from renowned racer Jörg Bergmeister, the PSS5 reduces the risk of aquaplaning. This improvement means better track grip and stability.
- Innovative Design: Features deeper tread depth, specialized grooves, and a unique rubber-silica compound. This construction ensures faster warm-up and prolonged optimal temperature retention.
Porsche revealed that on a challenging 2.8 km wet circuit at the Michelin Development Centre, the 911 GT3 RS clocked laps over 10 seconds faster with the PSS5 compared to the previous Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 NO tires. Impressive, isn't it?
