Michelin Pilot Road 2

The ideal balance. Independent tests confirm the Pilot Road 2 offers better wet grip and longer tread life than any of its competitors. How did Michelin incorporate these two contradictory traits in one tyre? MotoGP-derived 2CT technology makes it possible, using two distinct rubber compounds to achieve what was once thought impossible.

Wet grip and durability testing was performed in 2006 by CERM (Centre d’Essais Routiers Mécaniques) on Michelin Pilot Road 2 and five leading competitors' equivalent tyres, using sizes 120/70 ZR 17 and 180/55 ZR.

All the tyres tested for the study were treated the same. The Michelin Pilot Road 2 was up against six competing brands and the results speak for themselves. In terms of both wet grip and longevity, the Michelin Pilot Road 2 outperformed the other tyres. Vehicles fitted with Michelin Pilot Road 2 tyres scored the fastest times on a wet track and demonstrated superior longevity to the other tyres.

Michelin Pilot Power 2CT technology at it's best.

Still not convinced that Pilot Power is for you? Well, now there’s a dual-compound version, a direct descendant of our MotoGP technology. With a softer rubber mix on the shoulders, the new Pilot Power 2CT will satisfy even the most demanding sport riders. Want to carve corners at extreme lean angles? Do you feel like you’ve found the limit with your current tyres? Does your new literbike have more power than your tyres can use? If so, then it’s time to switch to the new Pilot Power 2CT.
