Cadillac V-Club TechTalks - Michelin

All Cadillac V-Club members are invited to join our next Zoom web conference for an online meeting with Wayne Yount, OE Product Category Manager at Michelin.

The goal is discuss the Michelin tire products for the CT4-V & CT5-V Blackwing offerings, potential new offers, other V-Series offers, Q&A and the development process.

Michelin today provides specifically tuned Michelin Pilot Super Sport 4S tires as the exclusive fitment for the current generation Cadillac V-Series Blackwing. Working closely with the Cadillac V-Series Blackwing team and drawing upon its innovative technologies and experience in endurance racing, Michelin engineers developed specially constructed MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport 4S tires that significantly enhance the world-class sports-car technology and performance offered by Cadillac V-Series.  The high-performance summer tire features a multi-compound tread composition. In fact, each tire features three rubber compounds. The predominant one is known as “R compound” and is a high-performance material covering the majority of the tread.  They are TPC [Tire Performance Criteria] spec, which means they are uniquely built for our V-Series Blackwing cars. So when you go buy them on Tire Rack or anywhere else, it will say TPC, which means they were made for our cars.

What the TPC spec impacts is “the stiffness of the tire and the characteristics of the rubber.  The Cadillac team went through various submissions of tires to make sure that the steering, the wet performance, and the dry performance was ideal and picked a specific spec.
