The Pilot Sport Cup ZP (Zero Pressure) is Michelin’s Streetable Track & Competition run-flat tire developed for Corvette Z06 and ZR1 drivers who participate in racetrack lapping days and car club competition events. Pilot Sport Cup ZP tires are designed to allow weekend racers to drive to, from and at the track on the same tires - tires tuned to match their Corvette’s high-performance drivetrain and chassis. The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup ZP takes street-to-track driving to a new level by providing great grip, progressive feedback and precision control along with extended mobility in the event a puncture allows complete air pressure loss.
Pilot Sport Cup ZP radials meet DOT requirements, 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 ZP 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.
The Pilot Sport Cup ZP benefits from several generations of Michelin run-flat technology, which is especially efficient in enhancing race-tire performance characteristics. Michelin has turned the technology that enables a tire to run for a limited period without air pressure into an asset on the racetrack.
A new racing-compound arrangement raises the limit of Streetable Track & Competition tires by delivering track-ready grip without abandoning treadwear. The tread compound is molded into an asymmetric design featuring a massive outboard shoulder rib to increase steering response and cornering stability while circumferential grooves and independent tread blocks on the inboard portion of the tread design help maintain wet traction on damp roads.
The Pilot Sport Cup ZP's internal structure includes two full-width, steel belts reinforced with Michelin's Filament At Zero (FAZ) technology to stiffen the tread area to resist contact area distortion during aggressive acceleration, cornering, braking and high-speed use. Asymmetric zero pressure sidewall inserts optimize tire rigidity in the same manner as racing slicks to combine lateral grip and peak cornering performance with precise control and steering. A supple outboard sidewall provides a large and reflexive variable contact patch similar to the racing slicks used on the Corvette Racing C6.R in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, while the inboard sidewall provides the extra-tuned rigidity to support cornering, braking and acceleration forces.
Pilot Sport Cup ZP 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 ZP 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 ZP tires will be available as Original Equipment beginning with 2012 Corvette models as part of Chevrolet's ZO7 package for the ZO6 and PDE for the ZR1.
NOTE: Pilot Sport Cup ZP run-flat tires cannot be mixed with non-run-flat Pilot Sport Cup, Pilot Sport Cup + (Plus) or Pilot Sport Cup N-Spec tires.
El neumático Pilot Sport Cup ZP (Zero Pressure, Cero Presión) de Michelin, es un neumático rueda flat perteneciente a la categoría: De Carretera Para Pista y Competencia. Fue desarrollado para conductores del Corvette Z06 y ZR1, que participan en carreras de circuitos y eventos de clubs de automóviles. El Pilot Sport Cup ZP ha sido diseñado para permitir que los corredores puedan manejar sus autos hacia, en las carreras y devuelta a casa; estos neumáticos, además, están ajustados para trabajar conjuntamente con el tren de potencia y el chasis de alto rendimiento de los Corvettes. El Pilot Sport Cup ZP toma el manejo de carretera a la pista a otro nivel, al proporcionar un agarre excelente, retroalimentación progresiva y un control preciso; conjuntamente con, movilidad extendida en caso que un pinchazo, permita la salida de aire.
A pesar que el Pilot Sport Cup ZP cumple con los requisitos DOT, el mismo, no esta fabricado con la intención de utilizarlo en carreteras extremadamente mojadas con agua estancada, donde exista el riesgo, del deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning), si estas condiciones están presentes los conductores deben reducir la velocidad y manejar cuidadosamente. Y como todo neumático de la categoría: De Carretera Para Pista y Competencia, el Pilot Sport Cup ZP, 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 ZP se ha beneficiado de varias generaciones de la tecnología rueda flat de Michelin, la cual, es especialmente eficiente en mejorar las características de rendimiento del neumático de carrera. Michelin ha logrado adaptar la tecnología que permite a los neumáticos rodar flat por un período limitado de tiempo sin presión de aire y que la misma se convierta en un activo en las pistas.
Una nueva combinación de la mezcla de caucho de carrera aumenta los límites de los neumáticos De Carretera Para Pista y Competencia, al ofrecer un mejor agarre listo para la carrera, sin abandonar un mejor desgaste. Este compuesto de caucho es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con diseño asimétrico, la misma cuenta con masivos hombros exteriores para mejorar la respuesta al girar el volante y la estabilidad al tomar curvas. Canales circunferenciales y un segmento interno de bloques independientes, ayudan a mantener tracción sobre superficies húmedas.
La estructura interna del Pilot Sport Cup ZP incluye dos correas anchas de acero, reforzadas con la tecnología FAZ (Filament At Zero) de Michelin, la cual, hace que el área de contacto con la carretera sea más rígida y resista la distorsión, durante aceleración, frenado, al tomar curvas y a velocidades elevadas. Refuerzos asimétrico cero presión (asymmetric zero) en el flanco, optimiza la rigidez del neumático de la misma manera, como los neumáticos lisos de carrera, al combinar agarre lateral y un rendimiento ejemplar al tomar curvas, con un control preciso al girar el volante. Un flanco o pared externa flexible proporciona un área de contacto de respuesta rápida, similar a los neumáticos lisos de carrera utilizados en el Corvette Racing C6.R en las 24 horas de Le Mans. El flanco o pared interna proporciona una rigidez extra-ajustada, para soportar fuerzas de aceleración, frenado o al tomar curvas.
Los Pilot Sport Cup ZP 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 ligeramente 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: El Pilot Sport Cup ZP estará disponible como neumático original (O.E., por sus siglas en inglés) en los Corvette del 2012 como parte del paquete Chevrolet ZO7 para el ZO6 y PDE para el ZR1.
NOTA: El neumático rueda flat Pilot Sport Cup ZP no puede ser mezclado con los neumáticos regulares Pilot Sport Cup, Pilot Sport Cup + (Plus) o Pilot Sport Cup N-Sp.
