Default Michelin ps cup2 or pzero for mid 40s track day

Hi all. Going to lrp early April. I figure temps going to be in the mid 40s. Would you use Michelin ps cup2s or stick with Pirelli pzeros.

I am new to the mpsc2 so don't know how they heat up in the cold.

Thanks

Ross

I don't think it will make a difference. Whatever you do, bring them up to temps slowly if it is really cold. It will probably still be freezing during the night.

P zeros are not in the same class as the Cup 2 tire. The Michelin is an R-Comp, the P Zero is a regular street tire, and not even a great one at that. The most comparable tire would be the Trofeo R.

Of course. Just debating which tire to put on for those temps...

Both are mounted on rims.
