I'm getting new tires on my CGT, the old Michelin Super Sports on the car are now 4 years old. What's the best Michelin tire to get? As I read historical threads I've seen some say Cup 2 and other SuperSport? What's the best answer?

RS Clubsport

Either P4S or Cup 2. I run Cup 2 all year round in the UK with the odd track day

Does Michelin make a rear 335 Cup 2, or do you run a 345?

AS

how well do the Cup 2s' perform in UK winters?
any issue getting enough heat into them?

RS Clubsport

Yes have to run a 345 rear.

I don’t take the car out when it’s very cold and there is salt down, but other than that on bright dry winter days it’s fine.

Supposedly..... there is a new (and improved) Michelin tire coming for the CGT, availability expected to be in December '21

Oooh, good intel. I'll hold off.

Tire is the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connects. No idea on ETA to North America. Can't find that little press release earlier this year.

Cup2s are 345 rear for CGT. MPS 4S work very well with the car.

Video of me tracking CGT on MPS 4S below. Louder tire nearer its limits, but grip is predictable and confidence inspiring pushing 8-9 tenths.
