The Pilot LTX was developed to combine
some of the on-road traction & responsive handling of Michelin
Pilot performance tires with the durability, dependability & load
carrying capability of Michelin LTX light truck radials.
On the outside the Pilot LTX's tread
pattern features a broad, flat footprint with a tread design that
has wide notched shoulder ribs & bridged interior ribs for precise
handling & progressive cornering. Its wide circumferential grooves
help resist hydroplaning by channeling water from the contact patch,
& its silica enhanced tread compound helps provide more traction
in wet road conditions. The Pilot LTX features a smooth sidewall
with serrated black letter styling.
On the inside, the Pilot LTX features
BAZ (circumferential nylon reinforcement Banded At Zero) technology
above its two steel belts to provide high speed durability, minimum
weight & maximum ride uniformity. A heavy duty light truck cord
carcass & bead tension structure provides lateral sidewall
rigidity for responsive steering while retaining vertical flex for
ride comfort.
The Pilot LTX combines on-road
performance & comfort with the low profile performance sizes used
on light trucks which makes them the sophisticated members of the
Street/Sport Truck Category.
