An accelerator of innovation for a better life in motion
Over the decades, we are proud to have globally demonstrated the performance of our racing tires, in all disciplines. Today, however, the nature of motorsport has changed. The colossal challenge we face is to develop All Sustainable mass-market tires whose design and production have a limited impact on the Earth's resources, biodiversity and CO₂ emissions, without detracting from the performance that has made the MICHELIN brand a success.
More than ever, motor racing serves as an invaluable accelerator of technological innovation. The extreme conditions that are inherent in motorsport provide us with an opportunity to innovate, experiment in record time, learn, create new solutions and accelerate the development of sustainable solutions that are of benefit to everyone.
Innovation from track to street
In 2024, at Le Mans, we unveiled a racing tire that contains 71% renewable and recycled materials for the hydrogen prototype MissionH24 and the all-electric Porsche GT4 ePerformance. This achievement was made possible thanks to our knowledge of renewable or recycled materials in the context of tires, with no detriment to either their performance or overall environmental impact. The advanced materials we develop in motorsport will go on to benefit all MICHELIN tires from 2025.
In the MotoE™ World Championship, the MICHELIN Power Slick tyres are made with an average of more than 50% renewable and recycled materials (49% front and 53% rear) without degrading performance.
