The partnership between the two brands goes way back to the glory days of Lancia racing; and today it is back with cutting-edge solutions thanks to the technological experience and non-stop innovation which sets Michelin tires apart in the motorsport sector. Specifically, to better deal with the challenges of asphalt, Lancia Trophy drivers will be able to rely on three tires from the MICHELIN Pilot Sport range, two for dry asphalt and one for wet asphalt, all of which will be available in 19/63-17 dimensions—the perfect balance between stability, handling, and reactivity.
Notably, to get the most out of the Ypsilon Rally 4 HF on dry surfaces, the drivers will be able to choose among medium and hard versions of the new MICHELIN Pilot Sport Pro Rally. Thanks to years of experience working with the MICHELIN Pilot Sport A, the premium choice for asphalt rallying, the MICHELIN Pilot Sport Pro Rally includes an innovative architecture which is even more efficient. Thanks to its ability to adapt to any type of surface and to quickly reach the right operating temperature, the MICHELIN Pilot Sport Pro Rally features an intuitive feeling which makes it the ideal choice for the Trofeo Lancia. Meanwhile, under wet conditions, the Ypsilon Rally 4 HF will be able to make use of MICHELIN Pilot Sport A MW1 tires, which provide safety and excellent grip on slippery asphalt, allowing for races to go ahead even during heavy rainfall.
