The available Precision Package (RPO V8V) on 2025-2026 CT5-V Blackwing models is a track-focused chassis package that is designed to enhance the dynamic performance of the vehicle on the road as well as under demanding track conditions. The components included in the package help maximize performance with increased high-speed stability, cornering capability and road feel. (Fig. 24)

High-Performance Tires
The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires (RPO Q2Y) that are part of the Precision Package provide extreme lateral dry grip and track-focused performance. The semi-slick track and road tire features a unique tread pattern design and compound, which provide a superior level of driving precision compared to the high-performance summer-only tires.
The tread appearance of the tires is noticeably different from the tires available on other CT5-V Blackwing models. (Fig. 25)
