P.S. I recently drove my brother's 991.2 GT3 on Cup2s in the Augusta, GA area. Even though temps were in the 70's, the Cup2s scared the crap out of me, with the car getting loose on multiple occasions. We just weren't able to run them hard enough to get them very hot, which is what they need to be.
Also, be very careful about not getting caught in a heavy downpour on Cups2s. They can be terrifying.

Honestly, I think it's nearly impossible to get Cup2s hot enough on the street to ever be better than the PS4S. I think the track is the only place one can do that.
Tail of the Dragon is way too dangerous with all the blind curves to maintain the speeds necessary to do that, even if you can manage to do it on a day with minimal traffic.

You might be right. Few friends with different cars have run them there but on the old pavement. They said it was better grip with cup 2's but minimal for the pace anyone "needs" to carry.
The new payment will be a bit slicker until properly broken in anyway.
Oh well, I just wanted some experience with them and do hope the track is where I get to find out really what they'll do. We'll see.
Thanks for the input for sure !!

Glad you reminded me about the Cup 2's....
I LOVED them!!! The second part of our day, we were able to carry a quicker pace and keep heat in them. There is DEFINITELY a difference in grip and feel.
Very sticky on the front end and a good bit more direct steering to them. Seems they pretty much got rid of the little bit of understeer my car had as a quick pace.
I know they will not be for every situation but for hot Summer (Low chance of rain drives), I will absolutely run the Cup 2's
