Ran both Cup 2s and the new Hoosier R7s recently. The Cup 2s have a low "land to sea" ratio and look like a street summer sport tire. Ran 7 sessions on a tight technical track in cold weather. Just switched from oversize Kuhmo V710s, so was fighting understeer for the first sessions.

Very little squeal at the limit, but grip levels are almost as high as the V710s. Maybe my bad driving, but got greasy in warmer temps towards the end of each session. Got close to my lap times from the last time out 2 years ago on V710s. Very little wear after 8 sessions and this track has a reputation for high tire wear. I like these a lot more than Cups

Just got back from a day or should say 1/2 day on the new R7s at a different track. Running the 35 series profile on the fronts. Touch my Cup Car brakes ducts near full lock, but otherwise, no clearance problems. Ran one session the same day I was running the Cup 2s to break in. Had some rubbing in one super tight turn, but couldn't see the location when I inspected in the pits. No ABS issues with the much bigger stagger than stock.

Didn't have enough time to really play with tire pressures and found 40F/42R rear worked pretty well, but I was still getting a feel for the tires. Got sideways a couple times under power the first session. No warning squeal, but slides were easy to catch. Will update when I get another day on them.

Mechanical DNF cut experimentation. My car has hit its mid life crisis. A bunch of stuff failing.

My 40/42 is a LOT of pressure to run... R6's could take 30/32 all day (some like to run them in the mid-30's) but yours is a new high...

Interesting to hear about the durability/value of the MSPSC2s...they are not cheap

I started with mfgs recommendations Which are higher than the R 6.

Got real close to ideal temperatures

At track event on Friday Instructor took students new 991 GT3 for run. Report was tires were awesome. Car Amazing. Porsche does step it up every new model. Still hate the centerlocks. MPSC 2 $1800 for my car. Need new teeth first :-)

Wow, I totally missed the news that Michelin was making the MPSC2 in the correct sizes for our cars. They're somewhat pricey, but not too bad if they hold up for a few weekends. I wonder how these compare to BFG R1's?

everyone in Europe is on them and more so now with the sizes in 18s.

997 GT3, RS and GT2 owners moving over. OEM on the 991 GT3.

a LOT better than the cup 1 if caught in damp or wet....they actually work. even better in the dry and hang on for longer.

for a street legal tyre (E marked & N rated) there is nothing better. they really are an awesome tyre.

100% agree.

Well.. not everyone in Europe think Cup2 is faster than Cup1 in the dry.
At least for me Cup1 has just a little more grip, especially at the front. Longevity and wet weather performance are definately much better with Cup2's.
