The Michelin Pilot Super Sport was created through the unique combination of three components: the aramid fibre belt, the Bi-Compound tread band and the Variable Contact Patch 2.0.

The Variable Contact Patch 2.0 enables complete control of the vehicle by keeping the same amount of rubber on the road, even as the patch's shape changes during tight cornering.
