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.

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!

I have had these on two vehicles. A GT350 and a Lotus Evora GT. The Mustang smoked the fronts in 4000kms with no track days. The rears were probably 30% at that point. The Lotus has 9000kms and 4 track days at to date. The rears will be good for another track session and fronts will probably outlast another set of rears. Overall a great tire. Would by again.

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 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).

I used to love Michelin tires but my opinion has changed, I buy tires now that cost 3 times less and perform just as good. For track days these tires will last you one day. On streets it will last me 6 months I don’t want to pay 3k per year just to have Michelin’s the company is going downhill with marketing. Yes they look good but my problem is safety and durability. You see when I had about 8k miles on my M4 my rear tires almost got me killed by hydroplaning on a highway at 80mph good thing I knew how to drift so I was able to stabilize the car. First thing I did when I got home is take these tires off. The rubber is too soft and in the state of Florida they wear out way to fast. Michelin step your game up and not prices.

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.

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.

The worst tires to have ever been made never went on a track and only was street driving it in less then 2000 miles the tires went bald I will never run Michelin tires ever again on any of my vehicles horrible experience overall and very pricy for such horrible tires DO NOT BUY THESE TIRES NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

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
