Sportreifen und Semislicks - eine Alternative?

"The new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 with its five high-tech features:

The tread compound
Produced with the same tools used to manufacture race tyres, the tread compound for the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2
integrates Bi-Compound technology, which involves the use of different rubber compounds on the inside and outside
of the tread. The outer rubber is made with a high molecular-weight elastomer chain with a hardness that has been
specially designed to deliver maximum adherence and outstanding dry grip on curves, especially on tight corners, while
the inner tread area of the tyre uses rubber made with a more rigid elastomer to ensure precise steering.

An aramid fibre belt
The main feature of the belt made with aramid, a high-density fibre, is its high tensile strength. This composite is both
light and strong; in fact, it is five times stronger than steel at an equivalent weight. Positioned on the crown under the
tread, the strip rubber is applied with variable tension between the shoulders and the centre of the tyre. It is tightened
so firmly that it literally locks the tyre structure into a practically inelastic belt. As a result, the tyre’s footprint remains
constant and centrifugal force is effectively controlled, even at very high speeds.

The Track Variable Contact Patch 3.0
This innovation is adapted from Variable Contact Patch 2.0 technology integrated in the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyre.
It optimises pressure in the tyre’s contact patch so that more rubber is always in contact with the track, thereby ensuring
superior grip in curves and tight corners. A new bead area The bead area is 10% wider than that of a traditional sports
tyre. It is strengthened with a high modulus rubber compound that increases the tyre’s lateral stiffness and delivers sporty
response as well as precise steering.

Velvet sidewalls for a racing car with butterfly doors
A special tooling process in the moulds combined with the Group’s unique expertise has led to the development of Michelin
Velvet Technology. This solution has made it possible to create contrast on certain sections of the outer sidewall using micro-
geometry techniques that absorb light. The geometry of the texture thus generated allows technicians to vary the contrast
and create shades of black that have the look of velvet."
