The Pilot Sport features breakthrough
technologies in casing construction, rubber compound and tread design
that will leave the competition playing catch-up for years to come
Patented Radial-Delta Construction
combines the immediate response of a racing tire with the stability
of a road tire. Radial-Delta design adapts world championship-winning
Michelin racing technology for the street.
Silica Tread Compound derived
from silica-based rubber mixes found in Michelin's racing rain tires.
Replacing the carbon black commonly found in tread compounds with silica
yields significant benefits in both wet-weather grip and durability.
Aggressive Tread Pattern uses
large tread blocks maximizing the contact patch for superb braking,
cornering and acceleration. Deep, compound-curve grooves efficiently
evacuate water while working in concert with the silica rubber mix to
promote rider confidence in wet weather.
