Hands down the best road tyre
The grip and handling from these tyres is spectacular! Both the stickiness and performance from working them at high speed is amazing! In no way have I found then to be loose or slippery in the rain or on wet roads. As for longerverity I am unable to comment at this stage, however I usually clock up about 1000km a week so time will tell! I am very surprised and happy with the performance of these tyres! 10/10!
MICHELIN PILOT SPORT CUP 2 N3
These tyres are brilliant. In NSW Outback, dodging dead Roos at speed coming around a corner and throwing the car hard left then back on the road to miss the mongrel and the car under complete control. The braking distance is around 36 metres at 110ks or about four car lengths, which has occurred numerous times when Humans are driving very slow in the left hand and for some unknown reason, change lanes and you are doing 110ks. In the wet I never reduce speed the car feels positive at all times. Longevity around 13,000ks
World clasd
Exceeds all competition
Fantastic dry grip and handling
Dry grip and handling of this tyre are fantastic, I had the cup 2 in a 225/40/18 on a fwd car however performance in the wet is extremely lacking - as would be expected with a tyre of this type. Tread wear is as to be expected with a soft tyre compound.
My Peugeot 308 Gti became alive when wearing Cup 2's!
I can whole heatedly recommend placing Michelin's excellent Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres (with N0 Porsche fitment) onto your car! Even if you don't do track-days! Perfect for fast road and road trips into Europe. They may only come with 4.2mm of treat from new but wear rate so far has been great. This is due to lower block wobble due to a lower original height so a lower build-up of heat, from any potential wobble/movement. Grip is raised over my previous PS4S tyres but what i really Really REALLY love is the enhanced steering feel. You do feel an improvement in turn-in and feedback. For those who've heard or read above wet grip, don't believe it. It's way better than you can imagine for the type of tyre it is. Don't let the chat put you off. I have had 2 punctures with these Cup 2's (in the same tyre!) on the road but this might just be had luck! Don't think it's a result of the softer tyre. If you can find them at a good price then go for it. If i can, I might even try the incredible Cup 2 R's on the Pug next then take it to the Nurburgring! Imagine that!?!
Happy wife, happy life!!
I fitted a set of Sport Cup 2's to my wifes Kia Cerato GT and she loves them. Thankyou Michelin.
Can’t believe they fitted these from the factory
Great looking and performing tyre for performance oriented driving.
Stock Tyres for the Corvette C6 ZR1 are without compromise
Perfect for Track and Street; there is no other option that compromises performance.
Predictable gri and performance
Great high performance road tyre that also works on the track
Track Day Tyre
I've done only 1 track day on these tyre, and in my honest opinion, they will be hard pushed to be beaten by any other tyre. Unfortunately the Cup 2 R doesn't come in my size, but I can imagine that's about the only "semi-slick" tyre that would be better. The braking and cornering grip is phenomenal and is very predictable when you do push beyond it's capability (which is hard done). Wet grip is pretty bad, but that's to be expected from this tyre. Overall, I won't be buying any other tyre for track days. Very pleased
