Pilot Sport Cup 2 R

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Tires

The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R is a high performance, summer tire designed for racing vehicles. It is also built for electric vehicles. The increased road-to-rubber ratio works with the ribbed design to ensure superior dry-weather performance.

The tire’s radial construction and its internal reinforcements strengthen the model to endure the weight of the electric car’s elements, like the battery. This is enhanced by the ribbed tread design and its continual road contact, improving structural integrity during the drive. The special compound elements offer great protection against heat and its build-up, enabling the tire to withstand high speed performance and stay operational.

The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R sports a unique tread design. Its shoulders sport different shoulder areas. One shoulder area is shorted with a dense arrangement of lateral grooves, while the other shoulder element is very elongated with a slick section and sparser placement of the angled grooves. The grooves offer biting edges for stronger grip during cornering, ensuring better control. The braking is also upgraded thanks to the greater rubber area put on the road. The central ribs improve straight-line driving stability. The ribber tread pattern increases precision and steering response time to the driver’s commands. These elements in combination grant the model exceptional handling necessary for racing competitions.

Summer tireThe slick and less detailed design delivers superb dry road traction, while the summer compound makes the rubber heat-resistant, boosting its high speed performance.
DurabilityThe summer compound and the radial construction make sure the tire can endure the weight of the battery and heat of the high speed drive, providing optimal racing application.
HandlingThe specific placement and the rubber ratio of the central ribs and the shoulder elements enhance the model’s controllability and maneuvering, allowing a safer drive.
