Technical description:
The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 is a premium-range tyre designed for racing tracks but approved for use on public roads. It is the ideal choice for any driver who places a premium on speed without compromise and high levels of safety, even in the most extreme conditions.
The Bi-Compound technology guarantees exceptional grip on dry roads, as well as precise steerability and directional control. The exterior shoulders of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 have been reinforced in order to improve durability.
