Pilot Sport Cup

FEATURES & BENEFITS

“Proven to be the fastest Targa/Track DOT approved yet, offering outstanding performance and durability available in sizes from 15” to 19”.

The Pilot Sport Cup uses dual zone tread compounds, the outer shoulder compound optimized for cornering and the inner compound focused on wet road performance. These tread compounds are molded into a 5.0mm deep asymmetric tread design that features a solid outer shoulder block and longitudinal grooves and independent tread blocks on the inner portion.

 


DESCRIPTION

Internally the Pilot Sport Cup features two, full width steel belts to stiffen the tread area to help prevent the contact patch distorting during aggressive acceleration, cornering and braking. The Pilot Sport Cup has evolved in conjunction with Michelin’s motorsport technology and Pilot Sport line of maximum performance tyres.

About Michelin

The Michelin journey of discovery began in 1891 when Andre and Edouard Michelin developed the first detachable bicycle tyre. Taking only minutes to repair, the tyre carried cyclist Charles Terront to victory in the now famous Paris to Brest race. The Michelin brothers, however, began a journey that took them much further than the finish line. Their innovation revolutionised the world transport industry.
