265/35R20 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Summer
The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R is a track and competition tire developed to maximize performance and reduce lap times. It is highly-tuned to enhance the capability of specific vehicles and may not be used for all applications. With a high-traction tread compound taken directly from Michelin's motorsport tires this asymmetric tread pattern has reduced void areas that improve grip in dry conditions. It has a massive outboard shoulder and the circumferential grooves are narrower, creating wider tread ribs for more rubber in the contact patch than the traditional Pilot Sport Cup 2. The inner shoulder is focused on wet traction with deeper lateral notches to evacuate water but this tire is still aimed significantly at dry surface performance.
XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.
What these tire specs mean
- Load Index 99 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 775 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
- Speed Rating (Y) indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 300 km/h under proper load and inflation.
- UTQG 140 A A is the manufacturer treadwear, traction, and temperature grading system. It is useful for comparing tires from the same brand, but it should not be treated as an exact mileage promise.
- Summer tires are built for warm weather grip and should not be used as winter tires in Ontario or Quebec cold weather conditions.
- XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
- Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
