Pilot Sport Cup+ (Plus) / N-Spec Streetable Track & Competition radials benefit from the same attention to detail that has earned Michelin repeated successes at major endurance races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 12 Hours of Sebring and Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. Pilot Sport Cup+ and N-Spec tires were developed for enthusiasts who participate in track day events, as well as for serious drivers on the road.
Homologated as Original Equipment (O.E.) on the E92 BMW M3 and Porsche 911, GT2, GT3 and GT3 RS models, Pilot Sport Cup + / N-Spec tires meet DOT requirements for road use. However, they are not recommended for driving in wet conditions where standing water is present and there is the risk of hydroplaning; drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds if they encounter these conditions. And like all Streetable Track & Competition tires, Pilot Sport Cup+ / N-Spec radials are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. It’s also essential these tires be stored indoors at temperatures maintained above 32 degrees F.
Pilot Sport Cup+ / N-Spec tires feature an asymmetric tread design with a massive outboard shoulder rib to enhance steering response and cornering stability in dry conditions while a thin circumferential outboard shoulder groove and wide circumferential grooves and independent tread blocks of the inboard design enhance wet traction. The tire’s internal structure includes two full-width steel belts reinforced with Michelin’s Banded At Zero (BAZ) technology to stiffen the tread area and help prevent contact area distortion during aggressive acceleration, cornering, braking and high-speed use.
Pilot Sport Cup+ / N-Spec tires are molded with 6/32" of tread depth in their grooves and are left unshaved for use on damp tracks. While Pilot Sport Cup+ / N-Spec tires do not require shaving for dry track use, their lap time performance will improve slightly if shaved to approximately 4/32” deep tread to begin competitive road racing/track use in dry conditions, however this will sacrifice significant treadlife.
NOTE: Pilot Sport Cup + (Plus) and Pilot Sport Cup or Pilot Sport Cup ZP run-flat tires.
El neumático radial Pilot Sport Cup+ / N-Spec de Michelin pertenece a la categoría: De Carretera Para Pista y Competencia y se beneficia de la misma atención a los detalles que han permitido el éxito de Michelin en carreras de prestigio como la 24 Horas de Le Mans, 12 Horas de Sebring y la Petit Le Mans en Road Atlanta. Los neumáticos Pilot Sport Cup+ / N-Spec fueron desarrollados para conductores entusiastas que participan en eventos de pistas, al igual que para conductores serios en la carretera.
Estos neumáticos son homólogos a los originales (O.E., por sus siglas en inglés) para los vehículos E92 BMW M3 y los Porsche 911, GT2, GT3 y GT3 RS y cumplen con todos los requisitos para utilizarlos en las carreteras. Sin embargo, no están fabricados con la intención de utilizarlo en carreteras mojadas, con agua estancada, donde exista el riesgo, del deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning), si este es el caso, los conductores deben reducir la velocidad y manejar cuidadosamente. Y como todo neumático de la categoría:De Carretera Para Pista y Competencia, los radiales Pilot Sport Cup + / N-Spec tampoco debe ser utilizado en temperaturas cercanas al nivel de congelación o superficies con hielo o nieve. Es esencial que estos neumáticos sean guardados adentro en temperaturas sobre los 32 grados Fahrenheit.
El Pilot Sport Cup+ / N-Spec posee una banda de rodamiento con diseño asimétrico, que cuenta con un segmento grande en el hombro exterior para mejorar la respuesta al girar el volante y la estabilidad al tomar curvas sobre superficies secas. Una ranura circunferencial delgada en el hombro exterior, varias ranuras circunferenciales anchas en la parte interior y un segmento de bloques independientes mejoran la tracción sobre mojado.
La estructura interna incluye dos correas anchas de acero, reforzadas con la tecnología BAZ (Banded At Zero ) de Michelin, la cual aumenta la rigidez de la banda de rodamiento y previene la distorsión del área de contacto durante aceleración agresiva, al tomar curvas, frenado o uso a velocidades elevadas.
Los Pilot Sport Cup+ / N-Spec poseen una profundidad de 6/32” (4.8mm) y no son afeitados para utilizarlos en pistas húmedas. Sin embargo, aunque no necesitan ser afeitados en pistas secas; el tiempo por vuelta puede disminuir levemente si se afeitan a 4/32” (3.2mm) para competencias sobre superficies secas. La desventaja de afeitarlos es que su ciclo de vida disminuye.
NOTA: Los neumáticos Pilot Sport Cup + (Plus) y los Pilot Sport Cup N-Spec, no pueden ser mezclados con los Pilot Sport Cup o los rueda flat Pilot Sport Cup ZP.
