Product description & features

The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 is a high performance tyre, developed from the experience gained from endurance competitions.

Michelin's Pilot Sport Cup 2 is a tyre designed for the track, and approved for road use.

Michelin has designed the tyre's tread pattern to have deeper grooves compared with previous versions of the Cup tyre range - providing motorists with greater wet grip and improved safety on wet roads.

Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres are available in 17 inch, 18 inch, 19 inch, 20 inch and 21 inch rim tyre sizes.

Multi-Compound Technology

Michelin has made use of two different compounds within the tyre's tread. A High Molecular Chain elastomer that delivers excellent grip when cornering, as well as a rigid compound for optimising the steering control and wet grip.

Track Longevity Technology 2.0

The tyre features track longevity technology 2.0, delivering slower wear on the outer shoulder. A reinforced external shoulder with a specially selected rubber compound makes the tyre highly resistant to wear.

Driver’s 3rd review
  • Reviewed on: 20/01/2023
  • Approx. miles driven: 4,000
I use these tyres principally for sprints and track days. They are good in the dry but quite dangerous in wet or damp conditions if the vehicle (Porsche Cayman S) is being driven flat out. The tyres are also used on the public roads where they are OK but as a replacement I will probably go for something more substantial - perhaps Pirelli Trofeo ?

These tyres are specifically for dry track competition purposes .However they do perform well on UK dry roads but require caution in the wet The wear rate is better than expected.

As a competition tyre they are quite impressive but as I have said they are not suitable for wet weather or for general use and I have a second set of tyres for that.

They are excellent on road offering more feel and more comfort but also great dry weather grip. Will go on track with them soon so will be keen to see how they perform on track.

Michelin Cup 2 are a fantastic tyre in the dry and OK in the wet if you drive to the conditions. The only issue is that the 5.5mm tread the tyres come with does last too long if the are driven as designed therefore they work out as quite an expensive option. That said, the grip and handling is worth every penny if they get you out of a sticky situation.

Bought these Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tyres after reading and watching several very positive reviews. Used these on my road legal track day toy (Mazda RX8). On dry roads these offer excellent control and feedback very similar to other UHP tyres I have had. Not driven with these in the wet (and not planning to!) but I would expect them to struggle in the rain given the tread pattern and depth. On track these are truly excellent. I ran a same-day direct comparison with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports and the Cup2s provided a small but noticeable improvement in grip and felt very sure-footed and confidence inspiring. Highly recommended especially for on-track.

Absolutely fantastic by far the best tyres on the market at present they grip in all conditions and give a fantastic softer ride quality than all other performance brands. So its 10/10 for the Cup 2's.

The tyres are amazing in the dry. If you want them for the track these tyres are amazing. On the roads they fall short in the wet. Aqua planing can happen at even the slowest speeds which makes for some really interesting driving but be aware. I bought these tyres for the grip in the dry and they delivered . Lasted around 4000 miles so this shows how soft these tyres are.

They offer extraordinary grip but are prone to overheating. The compound is very malleable and the tire is unbeatable in the dry. Be careful in the wet.
