Peace of mind on the track!

Great tire for my track days. I go through several sets a year due to extensive track time and the PSC 2 never disappoints. Grip/Handling/Performance is exceptional on the track.

Grippy and solid feel, great track tire!

I have these tires on my GT350 (295/35ZR19 front, 305/35ZR19 Rear, and have around 7000 miles on them. It's time for a new set, as I'm at the wear bars on the rear, but they are the best tires for the money I've had on a sport/track car. Ive never had a tire issue with them, never lost a single psi (they are nitrogen filled). They are grippy, second gear hooks well when the tires are warmed up. A competitors tires I had would still spin in 4th. They have great comparative wet traction too. I will definitely buy another set. My car also does some everyday driving and they are quiet and composed, and you can confidently scare passengers on corners at triple or more the warned speed (heard from a friend hahaha).

Excellent Track Tire!

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.

Expensive - but worth it?

I've been running these for just a couple of weeks now on my CTS-V wagon. It's a big, heavy car and makes about 800hp at the tires. Some guys run drag radials to put the power down, but I needed a better all-around tire. These are a good step up from the Super Sports. Quiet, grippy, the ride quality is amazing. Wear / tread life TBD. But these hold at WOT in 2nd gear - something no other tire has been able to do. Super Sports wold spin in 4th gear sometimes. The handling feel is great too. I've had several rain days and wet grip is way better than expected - haven't tried deeper water but wet roads handle just fine.

911 GTS goes to beast-mode on these shoes

A week after I picked my new 2016 911 Carrera GTS, I changed out the tires to MPSC2. What a difference over the the P-Zero! The steering and handling are raised by several notches over the already stratospheric characteristics of the remarkable GTS. What is most surprising to me is how long they have lasted: nearly 7000 miles and it appears that they have some life still left in them (I've spent no time spent on the track yet, unfortunately). It's going to very difficult to accept anything less capable.

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.

PSS vs Pilot Sport Cup 2

PSS is a very good tire... for normal roads. On the track, only the Sport Cup 2 is the right tire. I am driving a Corvette ZR1 but my friends are on Porsche and Ferrari. No one is driving with PSS on the track. They all have Sport Cup 2 tires or even slicks. And we are good but only gentleman drivers !... Even a very good sport tire (like the PSS) is definitely not made for the track.

Cracking up

Side walls are all cracked after only 2-3 years??? Never been tracked. Spirited highway driving only. Positive note hookup way better than toyo 888r’s with running about 800hp..

Maybe good for the track, but...

I've had a few sets of these on Porsches. First on a 981 GT4 and next on my 718 Spyder. To be honest, had I known our they were equipping these on a convertible from the factory, I would have optioned for the no charge downgrade. I had another GT4 that had a competitor's tire on it. Driven back to back, there were definitely different characteristics. I always described those Cup 2's as 'plinky' as that's the sound they'd make over any bump, even with tire pressures lowered. My wife and I also had similar observations of heavy steering response on the GT4, but I understand the desire for straight line stability in a car that is slated to do 180++ MPH on the track. There's lots of differences between our previous 981 Spyder and the 718, but my single biggest complaint with the car seems to fall on these tires. The previous generation was equipped with a competing brand's high performance summer tire. Obviously, there was less grip most of the time, but if we got caught in the rain, no big deal. Also, the non-track tires were very predictable making the car a breeze and a pleasure to drive. I do not track the Spyder... it's a convertible meant for the street in my opinion. Porsche's website has a few warnings added to it now about hydroplaning with the Cup 2's. I haven't had the car in the rain, but if these are similar to the ones I had on my GT4 several years back, they're borderline dangerous in the wet. Also, at lower temperatures (less than 60 F), these are extremely unpredictable. It's hard to criticize a track tire for that, as at the track I would be using tire warmers or at least a few laps before I started to push the car. But, for a street legal car, I can't fathom the purpose of their purpose. My complaints with the tire fall mostly on how numb the Cup 2's feel with extremely heavy turn in. I feel like there's an extra layer of compound on Michelin tires that make them seem soft and disconnected from the road... almost like your riding on a set of tires on top of a sheet of rubber on top of asphalt. Accompanying this seems to be the heaviest steering I've ever felt in our Porsche's. I noticed the numb feeling with my PS4's as well, but I don't mind it with those considering they are on a daily driven GTI. But for a simple roadster, I prefer to feel the imperfections of the road with nimble steering response. Unless someone is very competitive in amateur racing, has lots of money to dispose of, or just wants that extra second off of their lap times, I would opt for PS4's or a competitor of the PS4's. I want to be on the Michelin bandwagon, but I just can't see what all the fuss and cost is about. The street characteristics really are unacceptable even if you're claiming it's meant for the track. I've run slicks at multiple tracks from multiple manufacturers, and have turned near identical lap times between them for given conditions.
