Michelin Pilot Super Sport launches

Ferrari 458 Italia - just one of the Michelin Pilot Super Sport shod Supercars at the launch At the beginning of October – when it was already starting to feel as if we were in mid-winter on some days – the nice man from Michelin (that’s Paul, not the Michelin Man) called and asked us if we’d like to go and play with their new tyre – the Michelin Pilot Super Sport -  on some appealing cars.

Which is why we’re getting a second version of the Mitsubishi PX-MiEV at Tokyo. The original PX-MiEV from Mitsubishi arrived two years ago at the Tokyo Motor Show.
