Michelin PILOT SPORT 2

Tyre Details

The Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 represents a pinnacle achievement in ultra-high performance tyre engineering, developed specifically for drivers who refuse to compromise on sporting capability. Originally developed as original equipment for some of the world's most prestigious performance vehicles—including the BMW Alpina Z8, McLaren SLR, and Porsche GT2/GT3 models—this tyre has earned its reputation as the benchmark for maximum performance summer tyres. Engineered using Michelin's advanced Motorsport Technologies and data gathered from racing, the Pilot Sport PS2 features an innovative asymmetric tread design with two distinct rubber compounds optimized for their specific locations. A hybrid silica/carbon black compound on the outer shoulder transitions to a high-silica compound on the inner shoulder, creating exceptional grip across varied conditions. Large outer shoulder blocks and continuous centre ribs deliver precise steering response and outstanding cornering stability, while wide circumferential grooves and lateral notches effectively channel water to maintain confident wet weather traction. The internal construction features two high-tensile, lightweight steel cord belts reinforced with precisely placed Aramid/nylon hybrid filaments, providing remarkable steering response, resistance to distortion at high speeds, and enhanced durability during spirited driving. Customer feedback consistently highlights the tyre's phenomenal grip, predictable handling, and excellent performance in heavy rain, with drivers praising its ability to transform their vehicles' capabilities. The acoustically tuned tread pattern minimizes road noise even during high-speed driving, delivering a surprisingly refined experience that perfectly balances track-ready performance with everyday usability.

Key Features

• Dual-Compound Asymmetric Technology – Features two specialized rubber compounds strategically positioned across the tread—hybrid silica/carbon black for outer shoulder grip and high-silica for inner traction—delivering exceptional performance in both dry and wet conditions while maximizing cornering capability

• Original Equipment Motorsport Pedigree – Selected by world-leading manufacturers including BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, and Chevrolet for their most prestigious performance vehicles, validating its world-class capabilities and meeting the exacting standards of ultra-high performance applications

• Advanced High-Speed Stability – Aramid/nylon hybrid reinforcement and optimized steel belt construction provide exceptional stability and durability at high speeds, maintaining uniformity under extreme pressure while delivering precise steering response and resistance to distortion during aggressive driving

• Superior Wet Weather Performance – Sophisticated asymmetric tread design with wide circumferential grooves and lateral notches effectively evacuates water from the contact patch, providing outstanding hydroplaning resistance and confident grip even in heavy rain conditions

• Acoustically Tuned Comfort – Despite its track-focused performance capabilities, the precision-engineered tread pattern channels sound waves through strategically designed grooves, significantly reducing road noise and delivering a refined, comfortable driving experience for everyday use and extended highway cruising
