The first leg of the RallyRACC-Rally of Espana features 160.36km of competitive action, 84 percent of which will be on loose surfaces. The cars will consequently run with a ‘gravel’ set-up and on MICHELIN Latitude Cross H1 tyres.

The next two days will see a shift to an all-asphalt menu and the mechanics will have 1¼ hours on Friday evening to swap the cars to a sealed-surface configuration at the service park in PortAventura. For the wide, technically-challenging asphalt stages of Legs 1 and 2, the crews will be able to choose between the soft- (‘S’) and hard-compound (‘H’) variant of the MICHELIN Pilot Sport.

As a consequence, the RallyRACC-Rally de Espana will be something of a logistical challenge for MICHELIN whose tyres will equip practically all the four-wheel drive machines entered for the event, which amounts to 50 or so cars.

A fleet of three semi-trailers will travel to Catalonia, carrying 780 Latitude Cross H1s, 900 Pilot Sport Hs and 800 Pilot Sport Ss. Two additional trucks will carry the fitting and stripping equipment for the eight fitters. MICHELIN will have almost 2,500 covers available for the penultimate excursion of the year, plus a total staff of around 15 people.

Standard features on the base Cayenne include 18-inch wheels, automatic headlight activation, 2-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, adjustable rear seat bench and audio system with touchscreen color display. Michelin also received a Best Supplier award from Porsche in 2004.

These three models are named: Michelin Latitude Tour HP. Michelin Latitude Sport. Michelin Latitude Sport. Michelin and Porsche have been allies since 1960 but their partnership was cemented further in 2002 when Michelin was named as a Porsche Worldwide Cooperation Partner. It’s noticeable that the tires carry the N marking on the sidewalls. They start working on the development of a model and this goes all the way through to racing. In addition, Michelin got a Best Supplier award from Porsche in 2004. These cars are created to have superior performance when it comes to safety-enhancing grip, fuel-efficiency and total mileage. We all saw our first official glimpse of the new Porsche Cayenne during its introduction ahead of this year’s Geneva Auto Show in March. The car, which offers four engine choices, is priced from 55,400 euros to 115,500 euros. The marking certifies that they meet Porsche’s quality standards. These tires are versatile and can be used throughout the various......

Steering feel is a tad sedated, and the tall, 225/60/R18 Michelin Latitude tires mush around corners, scrubbing and howling if you decide to play.
