4.0 Pilot Sport Cup Tires Your Viper ACR comes equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup competition oriented tires that are DOT approved for street use. The Pilot Sport Cup tire uses a special tread and compound which provides considerably more dry grip than normal street tires. Due to the special tread and compound of your Pilot Sport Cup Tires, the minimum tread depth can be reached earlier depending on your driving style, resulting in reduced tire life. The special Pilot Sport Cup tread and compound may lead to performance degradation in cold climates, heavy rain or in conditions with standing water. WARNING: Use extreme caution and drive slowly in wet situations to reduce the risk of hydroplaning. Avoid driving in any conditions of heavy rain or standing water. These conditions can cause loss of control or accident. WARNING: The Pilot Sport Cup tires were NOT intended to be driven on snow or ice. The Pilot Sport Cup is a summer season tire and has diminished capability on cold road surfaces (below 50ºF). DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE DURING THESE CONDITIONS. Snow, ice and cold road surfaces can cause a loss of control or accident.
