    • Powerful cornering.
      Unique tread design utilizes both a semislick outer tread and a wet-styled innertread to help deliver powerful wet and dry cornering and promote high performance confidence.
    • Race-like reflexes.
      High-tensile steel cords and a polyamide belt package help provide enormous support for the tread and crown areas — delivering powerful cornering capability and quick steering responses.

Warranties (1 Warranty)Back to Top

* Mileage Warranty Exceptions

  • Split fitments - If your vehicle has tires of different sizes on the front versus the rear axles, your tires cannot be rotated as recommended. Therefore, the mileage warranty on each rear tire will cover half the number of miles as the standard mileage warranty for that particular tire line.
  • ZP (Zero Pressure) tires - The maximum mileage warranty for ZP tires is 30,000 miles.

Standard Limited Warranty <br/>(All Michelin® Tires)
All Michelin® tires have a Standard Manufacturer's Limited Warranty, which covers defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original usable tread, or for 6 years from date of purchase, whichever occurs first. See warranty for details

              Comments about Pilot Sport Cup:

              i have a 2012 centennial ZO6 with the manfacturer's provided Pilot Cups. I have yet to take this car to the track because I bought it in November and now (april) I am scared because they are almost bald. i have 5300 miles on the car. i have NOT spun my tires ONE time or LAUNCHED it in ANY manner. i suppose i will have to buy the 18/19" set up as opposed to the 19/20" ZO7 package so i can put some NITTO NTO5R's like i had on my last ZO6. NOTHING bad to say about your tire, but when anyone is admiring my car I get told about how bald my tires are and this started at about 2000 miles. what is the deal? i understand they cost over $2000 to replace and i will have to do that twice a year.

                          • You need to know your vehicle's options to find out the original size of the tires for your vehicle because automobile manufacturers often use different wheel and tire sizes for different variations of a specific vehicle.

If you do not know your vehicle's options, check one of these places: 

1. The original sales invoice or window sticker when you bought the vehicle.

2. Your vehicle's Owner's Manual, which will sometimes identify your vehicle's options.

3. Look on the vehicle itself. Some vehicles have a decal or lettering that indicates the options located on the side or rear of the vehicle.
                          • Find the exact tire quickly using your tire size. Check your owner's manual or tire sidewall to find the required specifications.

                            Knowing your tire size can help save time at the tire retailer. It also enables you to make an informed tire purchase.<br><br>You can find your vehicle's original equipment tire size in one of the following places:<br>1. On the tire placard located on the driver's door jamb <br>2. In your owners manual<br>3. On glove compartment door<br> 4. Inside the fuel hatch or trunk lid<br><br>You can also check your existing tire's designation on the sidewall. However, there is no guarantee that these are the original tire size unless they came on the vehicle new.<br><br><div><img src="/assets/mi/system/images/contextual-help/R2-Size.png"></div>

                          • You can determine your tire type by looking at the tire's designation on the sidewall of your tire. The following describes the differences between the tire type designations: 

 P-Metric: A uniform designation of tire sizes in metric measurements. A typical P-Metric tire is P205/70R14 93S.

 European Metric: This system was a conversion of the numeric system from inches to millimeters. The aspect ratio appears in the size designation in most cases where it is other than 82. A typical European Metric tire is 185/70R14 88S 

 Light Truck-Metric: This system is used for light truck tires, and it mirrors the P-Metric system used for passenger tires. A typical LT-Metric tire is LT245/75R16 120R.

 Light Truck High Flotation: This type is for light truck tires with lower sidewalls and wider treads that yield better traction on surfaces such as sand and soft soil found in watery, off-road situations. A typical tire is 31X10.50R15 LT LRC
