MIRS: a new revolutionary tyre technology

MIRS ™ (Modular Integrated Robotized System) is a revolutionary system in tire manufacturing. Using a single robotic fixture, it builds tires from beginning to end without having to move them from machine to machine. Robots manage the entire production cycle, at a speed unprecedented in this sector, in an uninterrupted sequence from the compounds to the finished tires , with no semifinished products to be moved around and no intermediate storage phases.

 

The technology employed in the MIRS™ produces tires with an exceptional degree of precision, so much so that it redefines all existing tire-quality reference parameters.
Allowing the construction of a one-piece seamless cover, MIRS provides users with a tire with qualitative standards on a whole different plane than those obtained via the traditional process: absolute structural uniformity ,
no vibration or imbalance ,
and maximum comfort .

Proving once again, that as technology advances and evolves so does the Pirelli tire.

 

The first motorcycle tire introduced into the market by Pirelli's highly advanced MIRS™ has been the Pirelli Diablo Corsa.

Pirelli 0°-steel belted radial tires

Pirelli 0°-steel belted radial tires are built according the most advanced technology in the tire industry. Their special construction is based on the usage of high elongation steel threads that run parallel to the tire's sense of rotation. In this way, tires last longer and provide more grip (as steel is highly stable, the belt opposes the tire's tendency toward dynamic growth resulting from centrifugal forces) and have more high-speed stability and less stand-up tendency while braking (the steel belt ensures a high level of self-damping, as to minimise the dreaded "kickback").

ICS (Ideal Contour Shaping)

I.C.S. (Ideal Contour Shaping) technology used inside the MIRS provides a perfectly even design and maximise performance of the front and rear combination for enhanced handling, maximum control and feedback when cornering.

ICS tires more uniformly distribute pressure and stress over the contact patch, which allows the tire to heat up quicker and also avoid overheating in high-stress situations, such as on the racetrack.
