Racing cars represent one category of vehicle that requires are highly demanding in nature. These cars are demanding in the sense that they must have every system and parts in order. Besides being racing cars, drivers strive to ensure that they are vehicles are performing excellently. Therefore, parts like the tires must be topnotch to increase the probability of cars to win. For this reason, I recommend Michelin Pilot Sport as a performance tire for the club.
Fresno State Motorsports Club is one of the partakers in a highly competitive or endurance car racing. Besides, the races usually take long, where some go for more than 3.5 hours. Therefore, endurance is a key aspect of the vehicles and the drivers in the race. However, the use of the Michelin Pilot Sport tire will help the club’s cars to attain this goal. Michelin Pilot Sport tires have been developed to perform excellently in dry conditions and warm, wet roads as well. Besides, these Michelin use an asymmetrical tread pattern that makes the tires to have a firm grip on the roads without wearing (The Drive, 2020). As a result, these attributes have made Michelin Pilot Sport tires to be top-rated in terms of speed and durability.
Also, I selected this type of tires bearing in mind that the club has a budget of $12,000. Michelin Pilot Sport tire goes for as low as 170 and 190 US dollars. The tire’s price is also in line with the demands of the race, where teams often go through 48 tires in a single 3.5-hour race. Under this factor, $190 multiplied by 48 will give a total of $9120. Consequently, the tire budget will still be met by using Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
Also, Michelin Pilot Sport tires exist in different types and nature. Size is one aspect of that differs in Michelin Pilot Sport tires (Autoguide.com, 2020). Ideally, a person looking for tires for racing purposes will not miss one after visiting the company. For instance, in the NASCAR event, only 205/50R15 or 225/45R15 sizes of tires are allowed. Fortunately, Michelin Pilot Sport tires are within these sizes. For example, 205/50R15 tire size has a diameter of 23 mm, width 8 mm, and sidewall height of 4 inches. Besides, Michelin offers tires not necessarily with rims, unless a client wants them together. Therefore, the club will have an opportunity of buying more tires to fix in the extra sets of rims available. Lastly, the club suggests that it will buy tires that will last the entire racing event. However, from the analysis of the tire budget, the club will buy more tires and still spend money within its budget.

Fixing street cars fir customers is an undertaking that, at times, entails a lot of interaction. An employee and a client often interact through questions and answers. One of the commonly asked questions entails the use of the “absolute best” tires for cars. Therefore, in my case, I can recommend Michelin Pilot Sport tires as the absolute best and the ones that can be driven year-round in Fresno. Michelin Company utilizes an asymmetric tread pattern to improve the efficiency of the tires. The outer should of the tires have a dry-focused tread that enhances handling and braking. Besides, the center “ribs” and the inbound shoulder are well-designed to improve braking performance in wet roads (Autoguide.com, 2020). Therefore, these tires can be driven well even when it is raining, and thus meeting the requirement of the client.
It is also essential to understand that DOT approval is one of the keynotes that the client pinpoints. DOT approval is an authorization given for tires and other automobile-related gear and parts after meeting all the requirements (Banner, 2014). For tires, they must meet requirements, such as the right treads. Fortunately, Michelin tire’s treads are well marked and spaced to allow easy braking and accelerating vehicles. Besides, Michelin Pilot Sport tires are designed to perform in dry conditions and wet roads too. Therefore, the tires will be suitable to be driven year-round in Fresno even when it is raining, as the client requires.
Also, the use of asymmetrical tread pattern and dry-focused treads play a crucial role in handling and braking, particularly in cold temperatures. Therefore, the car will have a high capability to accelerate and stop accordingly, especially in cold temperatures. These attributes have assisted in increasing the speed of vehicles that use Michelin tires (Autoguide.com, 2020). It is also essential to note that these attributes do not hinder the performance of a car, even when the weather is hot. Besides, these tires are built utilizing top technologies that are used by automakers like BMW, Audi, and Porsche. Subsequently, these attributes have contributed to the top ranking of Michelin Pilot Sports tires.
Michelin Pilot Sports tires sell as low as 180 to 500 US dollars. Therefore, with such a price range, anybody can purchase these high-quality Michelin tires. Also, in the request, the client suggests that size must bet between 205/40R16 and 205/45R16. Michelin has tires with a size of 205/40R16 with a diameter of 22.5 inches and a width of 8.1 inches. Michelin also offers tires with a size of 205/45R16 with ZR16 87W specifications.
