Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- High speed performance
- Enhanced controllability
- Longer lasting tread life
- Summer weather traction
OVERVIEW
The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for racing vehicles. This model is EV-Ready, meaning these tires are compatible with both electric and traditional vehicles.
This model was manufactured with versatile Michelin technologies. These technologies work together to boost high speed durability and overall controllability. Michelin's Track Connect optimizes the tire's footprint, enabling its consistent surface contact throughout the high speed performance. Additionally, the tire also uses a hybrid Aramid and Nylon belt construction, which does not allow the tire to deform under the driving pressure. Lastly, it also utilizes the Bi-Compound Technology 2.0 effectively avoids heat build-up, further optimizing the high speed durability.
The reinforced internal structure and the asymmetric tread design upgrade the model's handling. They work together to maintain the ideal tire shape and consistent surface contact. As a result, the tire manages to increase steering responsiveness and driving stability. This is also thanks to the special Dynamic Response Technology, which also optimizes the braking power. It significantly shortens the braking distance, while the outer shoulder pattern upgrades the cornering power. Better handling and maneuvering offer a secure driving experience.
A longer-lasting usability is provided with this model. The Track Longevity Technology 2.0 reinforced the outer shoulder area with a special rubber compound. This compound is wear- and tread damage-resistant, slowing the overall treadwear rate. The asymmetric tread design and Bi-Compound allow the tire to enhance pressure circulation across the tread area. The tire pressure optimization and temperature control ensure an ideal treadwear rate, increasing the tire's service life.
The Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect guarantees great summer weather traction. The summer weather, Bi-Compound Technology 2.0 effectively avoids heat build-up across the tread area. This, along with the asymmetric tread design's surface contact, increases the dry traction, while it also ensures slight wet weather performance. This combination enables the tire to enhance the summer weather driving safety.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
