About Michelin Tyres
In 1889 two brothers, André and Edouard Michelin, embarked one of the
great human and industrial adventures of our times: one that shaped and
continues to drive progress in modern means of transport through constant
innovation
From the invention of radial tyres to that of Pax System, and from the
first gastronomic guide to the steel wheel, Michelin has played an active role
at every stage of the automotive adventure.

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
dEssais 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.

Progressive feel and feedback at full lean
Still not convinced that Pilot Power is for you? Well, now theres 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 youve found the limit with your current tyres? Does your
new literbike have more power than your tyres can use? If so, then its
time to switch to the new Pilot Power 2CT.
