The new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect is a premium sports tire engineered to deliver fast and consistent lap times. The Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect features Bi-Compound Technology 2.0, while a new High Molecular Chain elastomer on the outside shoulder provides exceptional grip on tight bends. On the inner tread, a new rigid elastomer optimizes steering control. With Dynamic Response Technology, a hybrid aramid-and-nylon belt ensures reliable steering response, while the new wavy summit architecture increases tread pattern stiffness for improved intuitive handling. Increased UTQG treadwear rating of 240 and 7.2/32nds tread depth meets the 'street category' definition of many popular racing associations.
