- A factory Porsche GT2 RS equipped with Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires reset track records on the Nurburgring (6:47.3 in September 2017), at Road Atlanta (1:24.88 in March 2019), and at Road America (2:15.17 in April 2019).
- Bi-Compound Technology utilizes an endurance racing compound* in the outer tread and a rigid elastomer in the inner tread. (*Tread compounds of the same family as Porsche Cup N2 racing slick tires.)
- +20% deeper tread depth**. (**As compared with the MICHELIN® Pilot® Sport Cup +.)
- Built with exactly the same tread compounds used in MICHELIN motorsports slicks.
- Track Longevity Technology 2.0 combines Variable Contact Patch 3.0 with a race inspired reinforced shoulder construction.
- Designed for some of the world's most powerful supercars to set new track records.
- Faster on a dry track. -1.8 seconds per lap*** (***Based on internal max handling testing at the Jerez Circuit with a Porsche 997 GT3 (235/35ZR19 F & 305/30ZR19 R) compared to the MICHELIN® Pilot® Sport Cup+.)
- Faster on a wet track. -1.2 seconds per lap**** (****Based on internal wet handing testing on a 1.3 mile circuit with a Porsche 997 GT3 (235/35ZR19 F & 305/30ZR19 R) compared to the MICHELIN® Pilot® Sport Cup+.)
- Shave up to .8 seconds per mile on the racetrack.* (*Internal Study at Nardo conducted by Michelin in January 2018 with a PORSCHE 911 GT2 RS. OE dimensions 265/35-20 on front axle & 325/30-21 on rear axle. Measured -2.9sec/lap vs MICHELIN® Pilot® Sport Cup 2.)
- 50% more track laps† (†Based on internal circuit wear testing at the Jerez Circuit with a Porsche 997 GT3 (235/35ZR19 F & 305/30ZR19 R) and Renault Megane III RS (235/35ZR19) compared to the MICHELIN® Pilot® Sport Cup+.)
