The summer tire Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect is designed for dynamic versions of passenger cars. Structurally, it is a road-racing tire that can be used both on the track and on public roads. It is characterized by uncompromising grip and lightning-fast reactions to the driver's actions, as well as exceptional ride quality for tires in this category.
Two rubber compounds
A significant part of the technical solutions used in this tire were "borrowed" from road-racing tires. One of them is the Bi-Compound technology, which involves the use of two different rubber compounds in the manufacture of the tread. They divide the tire into two parts - outer and inner. In the first case, a compound with a special elastomer is used, which enhances grip on dry pavement and at significant lateral accelerations. The inner part of the tread, occupying about a third of its area, due to increased flexibility, provides precision handling and grip properties on a colder wet surface. It is worth noting that both compounds begin to work with maximum efficiency when heated to certain temperatures. That is, their capabilities can only be fully realized on the track.
Increased ride quality
The tire has increased ride quality. This is a comparison not only with the previous model but also with almost all similar tires from other brands. The credit for this goes to the second-generation Track Longevity technology. One of its components is the design of the shoulder area on the outside of the tread. It has increased resistance to deformation, which means that during significant lateral accelerations, this part of the tire practically does not change its shape, thereby reducing uneven wear. On straight roads, the level of abrasive impact is reduced thanks to the optimized profile of the tread, which ensures even distribution of pressure across the contact patch.
Main features of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect
- exceptional grip properties at extremely high speeds thanks to the use of two rubber compounds;
- excellent performance on wet pavement is ensured by the tread pattern with increased drainage grooves;
- excellent ride quality even when used on the track is achieved through Track Longevity technology.
