Features and Benefits
- Tyre Reviews UHP Test Winner — wet handling: Ranked first overall in Tyre Reviews’ independent UHP summer tyre test, specifically praised for excellent wet and dry handling, great steering feel, and balance in all conditions — tested on a BMW M2 against the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, Continental SportContact 6, and other premium rivals.
- Dual Plus Technology — two-part tread compound: A sophisticated dual-compound construction uses different rubber formulations across the tread face — optimising the outer compound for maximum dry grip and cornering performance while the inner compound focuses on wet traction and water evacuation — achieving excellence in both conditions simultaneously.
- Power-Shoulder sidewall construction: Stiffer, reinforced sidewalls with more rubber and reduced cutaway tread deliver significantly sharper steering response, enhanced lateral stability, and the precise, communicative feel at the limit that performance car drivers demand — whether on road or occasional track use.
- Z(Y) speed rated construction: Rated to handle the very highest speeds of today’s most powerful performance cars, the SuperSport’s casing and compound are engineered to remain stable, precise, and in control even at the upper reaches of the speed envelope.
- Maximised contact patch for grip and braking: The tread design and profile work together to maximise the amount of rubber in contact with the road surface, delivering the short braking distances and confident handling response expected from a UUHP tyre of this calibre.
- Exceptional dry grip — near semi-slick levels: Widely praised by drivers and independent testers for extraordinary dry grip that approaches semi-slick territory — providing high-speed stability, confidence-inspiring cornering performance, and consistent lap time delivery without degradation when pushed.
- Strong wet performance — especially wet handling: While the newest generation rivals may pip it in pure wet braking distances, the SuperSport’s wet handling balance is outstanding — delivering confident, stable, predictable behaviour in rain that gives drivers genuine confidence rather than just adequate margins.
- Consistent performance under sustained hard driving: Unlike some UHP tyres that suffer grip degradation as temperatures rise, the SuperSport maintains consistent performance across extended spirited driving sessions — making it a stronger choice for drivers who plan occasional track use alongside daily road driving.
- Road legal with track capability: Fully road legal and DOT compliant for everyday use, but engineered with the performance headroom for track days and performance driving events — a genuinely dual-purpose UUHP tyre for drivers who use both environments.
