Additionally, the Pilot Sport features a High Modulus Undertread for improved steering and cornering.
The Pilot Sport's 'radically swept-back grooves' provide an efficient method of evacuating water by funneling it away from the tire quickly, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. Its BAZ technology allows the Pilot Sport to better handle exceptionally high speeds by compensating for the change in shape that occurs during higher speeds, maintaining optimal tire contact. Meanwhile, the Pilot Sport's High Modulus Undertread ensures greater stiffness in the shoulder area, resulting in more responsive cornering.
