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.
The significantly deeper tread guarantees outstanding grip on wet roads and reduces the risk of aquaplaning. The tyre is also more durable and resistant to mechanical damage than its predecessor. The sporty, asymmetric tread is guaranteed to deliver the full range of performance values and make driving a real pleasure.
The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 is fitted as original equipment in the Ford Focus RS.
