My car is mostly street so I put on Michelin 4s when the Cup2s wore out. It is a much better tire for the street. Better grip in cold, wet and less road noise. Highly recomend the change if you don't track the car.

I autox my car, so the Cup 2's help keep me competitive. I have the 4's on my Tesla, and they are a great tire!

Congratulations! Beyond me how anyone could resist putting miles on one. 300 miles means it’s basically a brand new engine! I have the LWBS on mine and there are days I wish I had the more comfortable sofas. Enjoy in best of health!

Glad to join the GT3 Touring group myself yesterday! Was reluctant to give up my 2016GT4 after almost 17K miles and lots of fun, but glad to make this upgrade.

I also live in the northeast (NY area) and have a set of Michelin Alpin's for the winter months. I don't take my touring out when there's snow on the ground, but I still drive her a bunch in the winter. The Alpins are much better for cold conditions than PS4S (which is still a summer/warm weather tire) and a world better than the Cup2s. I'm not driving that aggressively in the winter, but the lack of concern on your tires "normal" grip when driving was worth it for me. Just something to think about...

Is your profile pics your new GT3T? I assume that's the car from Champion? If so, thank you for buying that...I was tortured every time I checked their site and saw it still there. Perfection.

Thanks for the tip. I am not planning on tracking the car. I live in Miami so I don't have to worry about the cold but the rain is a different story.
