The place was Barcelona Spain; the occasion was the global launch of the new Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tire. CEC's technical partner Michelin, coordinated a weeklong event beginning March 8, 2004, to introduce their latest performance tire to the world. Michelin spared no expense to educate the automotive media, the aftermarket industry, and top tier tire dealers on the merits of the Pilot Sport 2. While wining and dining are certainly enjoyable, Michelin knows that much more is required to substantiate the capabilities of the Pilot Sport 2.

Formal press conferences were conducted as well as classroom orientation to familiarize participants with the tire, its construction, development, and applications for both O.E and aftermarket fitments.

Rigorous wet and dry tire testing, on road and track, by professional drivers and guests of the event, proved that the Michelin Pilot Sport 2 out performs any tire on the market.
