The Super Sport tyre has been put throught the most rigerous testing using the same margins as those used in the civil aviation industry.
During this testing the tyre covered 50,000 kilometres withstanding peak loads equivelent to twice the weight it would support on a car. The Pilot Super sport will replace the Michelin Pilot Sport 2 (PS2) in some sizes and promises to offer better road and track mileage, increased handling and braking in dry and wet conditions compared to the Pilot Sport 2
