Created for drivers chasing every fraction of a second, the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R is an extreme-performance semi-slick tyre engineered for sports cars, supercars and serious track-day use. Developed using Michelin motorsport technology, it delivers exceptional dry grip, precise steering response and outstanding lateral stability when driven at the limit.
Michelin’s exclusive motorsport-derived compound and optimised contact patch maximise the amount of rubber working against the road, providing greater cornering grip and sharper handling. Michelin states that, in its referenced testing, the Pilot Sport Cup 2 R was capable of saving approximately 0.5 seconds per kilometre on track compared with its benchmark.
Key Features:
- Extreme-performance semi-slick track and road tyre
- Exceptional dry grip and cornering performance
- Precise steering response and driver feedback
- Motorsport-derived high-performance tread compound
- Optimised contact patch for maximum lateral grip
- Designed for sports cars, supercars and hypersport vehicles
- Engineered to deliver exceptionally fast and consistent lap times
- Used on high-performance vehicles from Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes-AMG, Koenigsegg and Corvette
- Road-capable while heavily focused on dry track performance
The Pilot Sport Cup 2 R has helped equip cars setting exceptionally quick lap times at circuits including the Nürburgring Nordschleife, highlighting its focus on outright performance rather than conventional everyday touring.
Track-Focused Performance:
The Pilot Sport Cup 2 R is optimised for extreme dry conditions. Michelin recommends allowing the tyre to warm up before demanding maximum performance and recommends use at ambient temperatures of at least 20°C. Extra care is required on wet roads or tracks due to the increased risk of aquaplaning associated with semi-slick tyres, particularly when worn.
For enthusiasts looking for one of Michelin’s most track-focused road-capable tyres, the Pilot Sport Cup 2 R delivers immense dry grip, precision and lap-time potential.
