Our take

The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 CN is tailored for drivers who prioritize dry grip and handling, scoring 9 in both areas, which is above the category average of 8.7. This makes it a suitable choice for track enthusiasts and those who demand high performance in dry conditions. The 55,000-mile treadwear warranty is a standout feature, offering more longevity than typical ultra-high-performance summer tires, which average around 37,754 miles.

While the tire excels in dry conditions, its wet grip score of 7 is below the category average of 7.6, which might be a drawback for those who encounter frequent rain. Competitors like the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) provide better wet performance, making them a more balanced choice for mixed weather conditions. Comfort is rated at 6, which is average for the category, so those seeking a smoother ride might want to consider other options.

Overall, the Pilot Sport Cup 2 CN is best for drivers focused on maximizing performance in dry conditions, particularly on the track. However, if wet performance is a priority, the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) might be a better fit.

Pros

  • Dry grip score of 9 surpasses the category average of 8.7, making it a strong choice for track enthusiasts.
  • Handling score of 9 ensures precise control and responsiveness, aligning well with performance-focused driving.
  • Treadlife warranty of 55,000 miles significantly exceeds the category average of 37,754 miles, offering extended use for an ultra-high-performance tire.

Cons

  • Wet grip performance is below the category average, which could be a concern for those frequently driving in wet conditions.
  • Wet grip score of 7 falls short of the category average of 7.6, which may affect performance in rainy conditions.
  • The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) offers better wet grip, making it a more balanced option for those concerned about wet performance.
  • Despite the high treadwear rating, the comfort score of 6 is average, which may not suit drivers seeking a smoother ride.
