Michelin Power Cup 2 Tires
Engineered for the most powerful two-wheeled machines, the Power Cup 2 is a tire designed for 95% track use with DOT approval for the street. Put simply, the Michelin's Power Cup 2 is a treaded version of Michelin's Power Slick 2 non-DOT racing slick.

Michelin tuned the Power Cup 2 for safe, predictable use with or without tire warmers. Warm-up periods are short. Add tire warmers to reach the Power Cup 2 Tire's upper limits of grip even sooner. Handling is communicative with little to no specific setup adaptations required. The tire's groove ratio is less than 5%. Dual compound construction puts a denser, more robust tread compound to the ground to cope with aggressive brake and throttle application while a softer compound increases grip at the tire's shoulder. Adaptive Casing Technology (ACT) matches these high levels of dry grip with communicative response from the carcass and sidewall at all angles of lean.

For riders with big power to put down, look no further than the Power Cup 2 from Michelin.

I firmly believe this is a tire for advanced riders doing track days and aggressive street riding

I firmly believe this is a tire for advanced riders doing track days and aggressive street riding.

Great tire for summer use (but with caveats noted below)

Absolutely insane grip but buyer beware this is effectively a slick with some tread cuts to make it street legal.

Like a slick, the tire needs a decent amount of warm up and use before that grip is available. This is NOT a tire with a 1 or 2 turn warm up cycle. Assume a good 5-10 minutes of use before grip is acceptable. If you don't respect the warm up window, you WILL be on the ground watching the bike slide on the ground in front of you.

For street riding, watch out for little streams crossing the road. Grip disappears quickly in the wet.

Respect the tire's design, respects its limitations and you will be rewarded.
