Excellent high speed performance but only in dry

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.

Easily damaged.

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.

Don't Listen to the guy complaining about wear.....

It is super obvious that the fellow complaining about the wear on these has no idea about different types of tires and probably hasn't ridden a track a day in his life. The cup 2s are fantastic, i run super sports on the street and then swap over to these on the track and man are they fantastic. No squirm due to the lower sized grooves and they absolutely tear around the corners, pushing 900hp to the wheel there are only a few tires i trust and this set is one of them. I get about 1 maybe 2 track days out of these.

Cup2s working great for my 1000+hp ZR1

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.

Great tyre

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

track tires only

These tires are meant for the track not to be daily driven. if you are looking to get these for your daily think again. No daily driver under 600 horsepower needs these tires. These are the toughest tires but there tread wear is terrible. DO NOT BUY FOR A DAILY DRIVER! AND DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOU DO BY THESE!

Not so street friendly

I have never put this much trust in a tire. That being said for on road use they are to sticky to the point they will roll small stones onto your windshield. Hate to look at my rockers. They come stock fro factory. Big rubber. 305/30ZR19. There is always a give and take with this type of tire. Thinking of going to sport pilots and hope for the best knowing the name “Michelin” ? I have a 2019 Mustang PP2 with 5700 miles and pretty well shot. I do not track the car.

Great BUT......

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

The Grip To Rip!

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.

Best SCCA Cup car tire ever made

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.
