Michelin extends Formula E supply deal

Michelin will remain as the tire supplier to Formula E for the next four seasons.

The French manufacturer provided tires to the inaugural season of the electric racing series, and has now won a tender from the FIA to continue in that role until the end of the 2018-'19 season.

"We are delighted to have been selected by the FIA once again and to be able to continue our involvement in this competition, which Michelin helped to found," said Michelin motorsport director Pascal Couasnon. "Formula E is a superb laboratory to foster innovation in the field of durable mobility in cities and built-up areas and Michelin is actively exploiting this golden opportunity."

The Michelin tire used in Formula E is 18 inches and treaded, making it suitable for both wet and dry conditions.
