Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Summer 315/30ZR20/XL (104Y) Tire

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2. The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 is a high performance, summer track and competition tire made for racing vehicles. The tire was manufactured with the Total Performance Technology and it was made especially for endurance racing. While it can be used for everyday, on-road driving purposes, this model still shines excellently on the track. The tire was made to provide faster circuit times and equally steady performance with each lap. The tire’s special internal structure also enhances its performing capability. The Filament At Zero degrees, which maintains the tire’s shape and improves the drive quality with reinforced filaments in the tire’s structure, stabilizes the tire at high speeds. This model allows the vehicle to achieve its full potential in dry road conditions, offering superb performing ability. This great performing ability is further increased by the Bi-Compound Technology. The differing rubber compounds in the footprint’s outside and inside areas, along with the asymmetric tread pattern, offer excellent dry weather traction. The tread design’s shoulders were manufactured using a special compound that enables an excellent dry road grip, which boosts the model’s grip during cornering situations. The enhanced cornering ability improves the tire’s racing performance. The tire performs best and is the safest in dry road conditions. It is not suited to for use in winter weather, as it will lose its traction in lower temperatures. While the tire passes the DOT requirements, it is also not recommended to use this model in wet weather conditions or to drive it in deeper water. This tire will not resist hydroplaning situations, making is unsafe to use in such situations. Added awareness is required during rainy weather driving for safety. Compared to the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup, the Pilot Sport Cup 2 has an increased tread life. The tire’s longer tread life is also ensured with the Track Longevity 2.0 Technology. This technology slows down the wear rate of the model on the outer shoulders of the tire by reinforcing it with special, highly wear resistant rubber. This allows its tread life to last longer than before, making the tire more cost-efficient. The Pilot Sport Cup 2 also features the Variable Contact Patch 3.0 Technology which expands and optimizes the contact area with the road while driving. The larger footprint enables a better road grip for cornering and maneuvering, making the model safer to use on the track.
