The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R is a Streetable Track & Competition tire engineered for supercars and high-performance sports cars. Designed to push the limits of grip, steering precision, and cornering stability, this tire delivers track-level performance while remaining street-legal.
Developed using motorsport-inspired technology, the Pilot Sport Cup 2 R features a high-traction tread compound molded into an asymmetric tread pattern, significantly reducing void area to maximize rubber-to-road contact. The massive outboard shoulder, wider tread ribs, and fewer lateral notches enhance dry grip and cornering control, making it ideal for high-speed maneuvers.
For improved safety, the inner shoulder is optimized for wet traction, featuring deep lateral notches to aid water evacuation. However, due to its track-focused design, wet condition performance is limited, and caution is advised in rain or standing water. Michelin recommends storing these tires at temperatures above 14°F (-10°C) to maintain compound integrity. Available in various high-performance sizes, the Pilot Sport Cup 2 R is the ultimate choice for track enthusiasts and performance-driven drivers seeking unmatched dry grip, steering precision, and braking efficiency.
