Has the Michelin 3ST been discontinued?
1 Answers
Michelin 3ST has been discontinued. Here are the relevant details: 1. Asymmetric design: The Michelin 3ST features an asymmetric design, with more uniform tread blocks and larger block areas compared to other tires. Additionally, almost all tread blocks on this tire vary in size due to Michelin's latest EvenPeak noise reduction technology. This technology disperses noise that would normally concentrate in a single frequency band across a broader range, reducing noise amplitude in frequencies more noticeable to humans. 2. FlexMax technology: Furthermore, the 3ST incorporates Michelin's FlexMax technology, which combines "high-flexibility tread compound" and "beveled block" technologies. The "high-flexibility tread compound" ensures better contact between the tire surface and the road, while the "beveled block" technology prevents unwanted folding when tread blocks contact the ground. Together, these technologies maximize the tire's contact patch, ensuring excellent braking performance on both dry and wet surfaces.
