Pilot Sport CUP 2 equipment

Michelin Pilot Sport CUP 2 summer tyres feature a sporty, Semi-Slick asymmetric tread pattern. This design ensures maximum performance in dynamic driving. Michelin has not only brought around a century of motorsport experience to the development of these tyres, but also the brand's leading technologies to achieve the highest level of safety.

The new tread pattern has a widened profile. This has helped to increase stability at high speeds. Two rows of central wide blocks provide convincing directional stability. Wide shoulder blocks significantly improve manoeuvrability.

The asymmetric and sporty tread base features a highly developed drainage system. Deep channels in the centre of the tread quickly move water away from the contact area, reducing the risk of aquaplaning. Even in heavy rain and at high speeds, the tyre offers excellent stability and handling.

As the tyre is subjected to increased loads at high speeds, a special high-strength carcass is used in this model. It is constructed using a new, increased-strength cord or breaker material and special steel ties, which significantly increase the tyre's strength and extend its service life.
