The Pilot Sport Cup 2 R is Michelin's Streetable Track & Competition tire developed for the drivers of supercars and sports cars who want to maximize their vehicle's performance and reduce lap times. The Pilot Sport Cup 2 R is highly-tuned to enhance the capability of the specific vehicles it was homologated for, so it may only be sold for use in those applications. Since it is designed to help drivers realize their car's full potential in dry conditions, the Pilot Sport Cup 2 R, like all Streetable Track & Competition tires, is not intended to be used, stored, moved nor shipped in near- or below-freezing temperatures.
The Pilot Sport Cup 2 R utilizes a tread compound taken directly from Michelin's motorsport tires for enhanced grip during acceleration, braking and cornering. This high-traction compound is molded into an updated, asymmetric pattern with reduced void area to improve grip in dry conditions. The massive, outboard shoulder features fewer lateral notches, and the tire's circumferential grooves are narrower, creating wider tread ribs for more rubber in the contact patch. The inner shoulder is focused on wet traction, with deep, lateral notches to evacuate water from the footprint. Even so, while Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires meet DOT requirements, 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. This is especially true of shaved or worn tires.
Internal construction of the Pilot Sport Cup 2 R has been reengineered to fully exploit the additional grip provided by the updated compound and is tuned to best complement its intended vehicle application. Increased structural rigidity provides the stable base needed to withstand the forces transmitted through the tire.
Note: Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires should be stored at temperatures above 32°F (0°C). Below 14°F (-10°C) the tires should not be used, stored, moved or shipped. Lower temperatures can cause the rubber to crack. Cold compound cracking occurs as a result of improper use or storage, and therefore Michelin's warranty will not cover tires exhibiting this condition. Any tires exhibiting compound cracking must be replaced.
Note: For best handling on the track or the road, Michelin advises a complete set of four Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires should be fitted.

El neumático Pilot Sport Cup 2 R de Michelin pertenece a la categorÃa: De Carretera Para Pista y Competencia, fue desarrollado para conductores de superautos y autos deportivos, que desean maximizar el rendimiento de sus vehÃculos y reducir el tiempo en la pista. El Pilot Sport Cup 2 R ha sido modificado ampliamente para homologar el desempeño del vehÃculo en que se instala, es por esto que solo puede ser vendido para esos vehÃculos. Debido a que es diseñado para ayudar a los vehÃculos alcanzar su potencial en condiciones secas, el Pilot Sport Cup 2 R, como todo neumático De Carretera Para Pista y Competencia, no fue diseñado para ser reparado, guardado, enviado o utilizado en temperaturas cercanas al nivel de congelación.
El Pilot Sport Cup 2 R utiliza un compuesto de caucho extraÃdo directamente de los neumáticos de automovilismo de Michelin, para mejorar el agarre durante la aceleración, frenado y al tomar curvas. Este compuesto de gran agarre es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento mejorada con patrón asimétrico y mayor cantidad de caucho haciendo contacto con la carretera, para mejorar el agarre en condiciones secas. Los extensos hombros exteriores presentan una cantidad menor de ranuras y los canales circunferenciales son más delgados creando segmentos de la huella más anchos para obtener más contacto con la carretera. El hombro interno se enfoca en adquirir tracción sobre superficies mojadas. A pesar de que el Pilot Sport Cup 2 R cumple con los requerimientos del Departamento de Transporte de Estados Unidos (DOT, por sus siglas en inglés), no se recomienda utilizarlo en condiciones mojadas cuando existe agua retenida y hay posibilidad de resbalar sobre agua (hydroplaning), si es asÃ, los conductores deben reducir la velocidad y manejar con cautela, esto toma aún mayor importancia, cuando el neumático esta desgastado o ha sido afeitado.
La construcción interna del Pilot Sport Cup 2 ha sido rediseñada para explotar completamente, el agarre adicional proporcionado por el compuesto de caucho mejorado, a la vez, es modificada para complementar, de la mejor manera, el auto donde será utilizada. Una rigidez estructural aumentada, proporciona la base estable necesitad para soportar las fuerzas transmitidas a través del neumático.
Nota: Los neumáticos Pilot Sport Cup 2 R deben ser guardados en temperaturas superiores a los 32°F (0°C). A temperaturas por debajo de 14°F (-10°C), estos neumáticos no deben se utilizados, guardados, movidos o enviados. Las temperaturas bajas pueden causar grietas en el caucho. Las grietas causadas al caucho durante temperaturas bajas se deben uso o guardado inapropiado, por lo tanto, la garantÃa de Michelin no cubre neumáticos que muestran esta condición. Cualquier neumático con grietas en el caucho debe ser remplazado.
Nota: Para obtener el mejor desempeño en la carretera o la pista del Pilot Sport Cup 2 R, Michelin recomienda utilizarlo en las cuatro posiciones del vehÃculo.

Tire Category: Streetable Track & Competition
This tire hasn't received enough consumer feedback to be rated.
Customer surveys indicate the Pirelli P Zero All Season delivers excellent dry traction and confident wet performance, with scores frequently in the 8-10 range. Winter traction shows mixed results, with many praising light snow capability but noting reduced confidence on ice. Ride comfort receives consistent praise for smoothness and low noise, aligning with its ultra-high-performance all-season design. However, treadwear feedback varies widely-while some report strong longevity, others mention rapid wear, suggesting driving style or conditions may impact tread life. Overall, it satisfies drivers seeking responsive handling in dry and wet conditions, though those prioritizing harsh winter performance may want to consider dedicated winter tires.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Most customers rate Wet Traction with 9s and 10s, highlighting confident grip and stable handling in wet conditions. While the majority of scores are very positive, a few lower ratings (0-6) indicate occasional variability in heavy rain performance.
...They provide excellent traction in rain & dry weather conditions and noise level is non existent...
Pirelli PZERO All-Season Seal-Inside BSW size 245/50R20 are the standard 2022 Chrysler Pacifica AWD (all trims) OEM tires for 20” x 7.5” Wheels as well as 18” x 7.5” wheels. That’s the main reason I spend the extra money to purchase them for my new Pacifica AWD minivan.
I have found them to have great traction in all weather conditions except severe ice and high snow but then no tires I’ve ever used in those conditions are any better. They provide excellent traction in rain & dry weather conditions and noise level is non existent. Only thing to complain about is the 25,000 - 30,000 mile tread life. They get a bad rap with most reviewers because of the low tread life but mostly because they’re really expensive, ultra high performance self-sealing OEM tires. I will continue to buy them and don’t mind the 25,000 - 30,000 mile tread life or their high price because they provide an excellent ride on my Pacifica.

...The wet and dry traction is impressive. We've been caught in some torrential downpours on the interstate and they showed no signs of hydroplaning...
Bought these tires to replace a set of Falken CT60 tires. The Pirellis feel much more stable on the road. The wet and dry traction is impressive. We've been caught in some torrential downpours on the interstate and they showed no signs of hydroplaning. So far, they're a 10/10 for me.

...I encountered extremely heavy rain at 70mph on the interstate. They handled very well on the wet interstate and steering response was great. I detected no aquaplaning or drifting...
These Pirelli P-Zero All Seasons came on my 2023 BMW X1 xDrive28i(all wheel drive). The were extremely quiet and comfortable. I encountered extremely heavy rain at 70mph on the interstate. They handled very well on the wet interstate and steering response was great. I detected no aquaplaning or drifting. I know it's wrong to judge tires based on their looks, but it's been a while since I've seen nice-looking sidewalls on all-season tires. :)

Most customers report strong winter traction with scores 8-10, highlighting reliable snow performance. While some note reduced ice grip (scores 5-7), the P Zero All Season delivers confident handling in typical winter conditions for its ultra-high performance category.
...They have served me well in snow and ice and hold great in the summer on backroad adventures... Not sure why some rate these so low for winter traction, I made it home from a 25 mile commute in 10+ wet snow when 3/4 of the city ended up stuck and abandoning their vehicles. Drove in an ice storm the year before without issue...
Three years and almost 28k miles and the tires are no where near the wear indicators. They have served me well in snow and ice and hold great in the summer on backroad adventures. My curiosity wants to try another tire when it comes time to replace but I'm afraid I'll be disappointed. Not sure why some rate these so low for winter traction, I made it home from a 25 mile commute in 10"+ wet snow when 3/4 of the city ended up stuck and abandoning their vehicles. Drove in an ice storm the year before without issue. In heavy rain the car goes straight through deep puddles. They hold line well with spirited driving in the dry/wet in summer. I estimate I can get another 10-15K out of these tires no problem.

...Will see how long tires last but riding is most luxurious, plush, quite and responsive compare previously KumHo Solus and Yokohama Sport AS...
Great tires so far. Replace Yokohama Sport AS 245/50/18 after 50K (good tires no doubt) but I feel that Pirelli PZero 245/50/18 much better tires for Lexus LS 460 all around. Will see how long tires last but riding is most luxurious , plush, quite and responsive compare previously KumHo Solus and Yokohama Sport AS. Pirelli ProMotion special price was unbeatable for this deal.
