I have a modified Porsche Cayman S that'll put over 500 to the rears, so I went widebody adding RSR-like rear flares and Cup Car LCA's all-around. The car needed grip, and it got it. In the form of the new Sport Cup 2's. I removed the Super Sports, which are an amazing tire. As good as a performer as the Super Sports are, the Sport Cup 2's are that much better. It's like the difference between running a stadium track in a top-of-class pair of running shoes and then slipping on a pair of world-class Olympic caliber track shoes and taking another lap.

On a 2019 Corvette Z06: These tires grip fairly well, but they don't have any sort of tread life. 5,000 miles from new, and all 4 are worn to the bars. These tires also puncture way too easily. I've already replaced two due to damage. The first one had two tiny nails in it, but they were enough to ruin the tire. The second time, a small rock tore through the tire on the inside edge/sidewall of the tire. This was on a relatively clean and smooth road. I didn't even see the small rock, but I definitely heard it..It made a loud pop when it punctured the tire. I'm extremely disappointed at how flimsy these tires are. I would probably not buy them again.

So far these cup2 tires have been amazing, way better then the cup1s! The original tires that came on my 2013 ZR1 were cup1 tires. I was not a fan of them and actually took them off to put on Michelin pilot sports. I honestly liked the pilot sports over the cup1s but after modifying the car the pilot sorts were worthless. I was literally spinning the tires from a 70mph 3rd gear roll and even into 4th. It became very scary trying to harness 900+ rwhp/rwtq. With the cup 2s I’m able to dead hook my ZR1 from a 2nd gear roll at 30mph on the street. Pretty amazed what threse tires can do when warmed up. I highly recommend them.

I've read a lot of negative comments about this tire. I'd like to offer my thoughts, a consumer should always educate themselves about a product before purchase. I see many comments placing fault on the manufacturer for a specific product not meeting the consumers expectations. Researching a product before purchase is the consumers responsibly. The Cup 2 tire is NOT an every day tire. The manufacturer clearly states this, and DOESN'T recommend it for such use. But if you're racing SCCA or Trans-Am This is the tire to have. And yes, the tire is good for one race... Sorry that's just the nature of the beast.

As mentioned by others, this is a street legal track tire. Don’t expect high mileage given the compound. When at the proper temp they stick like gum! Love it. Expensive, but worth the extra grip in the corners. 4 track weekends and 3,300 miles, they are slicks now. Just not sure how far to go as the wear bars don’t mean much on this type of tire but some holes/dimples on the outer tread blocks would be great to better gauge compound remaining.

Great tyre apart from the soft sidewall construction... most track tyres have a much stronger sidewall. Due to the weight of my car the sidewalls wobble so it unsettles the car especially at tracks like the Nurburgring. Its a shame that Michelin dont offer the Run Flat version like they do on the corvettes in more sizes.... I think this would resolve the sidewall issue. My tyre sizes are 295/30/20 and 305/30/20

They are an amazing tire I bought them in August for my 350 Z I’ve driven about 5000 miles on them (now January) and they already need replacing wires are starting to show (I have never drifted on these) I have launched the car maybe four times which causes a little bit of tire spin but almost instantly grips so there’s no way that these tires should wear out this fast

I see a lot of negative reviews on this tire for thread life. It’s a 180 thread ware (and that’s being generous), what do you expect?? Like a previous reviewer has said, it’s not for daily driving. It’s for the track and getting to and from the track. And at that job I find it terrific. I’ve had this tire on 2 GT3s, a GT4 and a C6 Z06. I’m presently building a track day S2000 and that’s what’s going on it. Sure there are less expensive , more « durable », sticky tires like the Potenza RE-11 (loved it!) and the Hankook RS4 (it’s fine!) but none give you the solid feel and grip of this tire (maybe except the Trofeo R but never experienced myself, and worst wear caractiristics).

This is tire is standard on new Corvette Grand Sports. Their performance is exception BUT ONLY in dry conditions. When the pavement gets wet these tire can be treacherous. They are very prone to hydroplaning and their adhesion suffers greatly. Another thing, these tires are very prone to punctures which tire repair facilities are increasing incapable of or reluctant to fix.

I have a brand new 2025 Z06 with the Z07 performance package, so comes with the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup summer tires. At 2,400 miles with no track driving and regular aggressive driving (so day-to-day driving, but hitting corners hard, good speed, but no burn outs, no excessive braking), my rear right tire blew out with essentially no warning, other than a slight vibration that started a few miles before the below out. When I examined the tire, both rear tires were worn completely down to the threads and had split. I have NEVER had a car where the tires were done with such low mileage and no track driving. I mean, I have a Tesla Model S Plaid, a Porche 911 Turbo S, and in the past I have owned Vipers, GTRs, and so on, and have never seen this happen to a tire. I think it is a manufacturing defect. Michelin refused to cover it under a warranty. The last set of Michelin tires I will ever own. Shame.
