Review Summary
These tires provide exceptional grip and performance on the track, with strong acceleration, cornering, and stability. However, they have a very short tread life, are easily damaged, and do not perform well in wet or cold weather conditions. They are best suited for dedicated track use rather than everyday street driving.

Pick up everything
200 mile on my ZR1. All off track and have a flat due to small nail. No warranty. Unbelievable.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Philly Mike. We would recommend getting a tire inspection at an authorized dealer. Please have the dealer contact us at 866-866-6605 to report their findings.

Great tyre
Great tyre apart from the soft sidewall construction... most track tyres have a much stronger sidewall. Due to the weight of my car the sidewalls wobble so it unsettles the car especially at tracks like the Nurburgring. Its a shame that Michelin dont offer the Run Flat version like they do on the corvettes in more sizes.... I think this would resolve the sidewall issue. My tyre sizes are 295/30/20 and 305/30/20
Thanks Taz, for taking the time to submit a review. We'll pass along your suggestion to our Marketing Group.

Not so street friendly
I have never put this much trust in a tire. That being said for on road use they are to sticky to the point they will roll small stones onto your windshield. Hate to look at my rockers. They come stock fro factory. Big rubber. 305/30ZR19. There is always a give and take with this type of tire. Thinking of going to sport pilots and hope for the best knowing the name “Michelin” ? I have a 2019 Mustang PP2 with 5700 miles and pretty well shot. I do not track the car.

Excellent for track use
I see a lot of negative reviews on this tire for thread life. It’s a 180 thread ware (and that’s being generous), what do you expect?? Like a previous reviewer has said, it’s not for daily driving. It’s for the track and getting to and from the track. And at that job I find it terrific. I’ve had this tire on 2 GT3s, a GT4 and a C6 Z06. I’m presently building a track day S2000 and that’s what’s going on it. Sure there are less expensive , more « durable », sticky tires like the Potenza RE-11 (loved it!) and the Hankook RS4 (it’s fine!) but none give you the solid feel and grip of this tire (maybe except the Trofeo R but never experienced myself, and worst wear caractiristics).
Thanks, Rockweiler, for taking the time to submit a review.

track tires only
These tires are meant for the track not to be daily driven. if you are looking to get these for your daily think again. No daily driver under 600 horsepower needs these tires. These are the toughest tires but there tread wear is terrible. DO NOT BUY FOR A DAILY DRIVER! AND DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOU DO BY THESE!

Great BUT......
They are an amazing tire I bought them in August for my 350 Z I’ve driven about 5000 miles on them (now January) and they already need replacing wires are starting to show (I have never drifted on these) I have launched the car maybe four times which causes a little bit of tire spin but almost instantly grips so there’s no way that these tires should wear out this fast
We understand the Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires on your 350 Z did not meet your expectation in terms of mileage. A member of our Consumer Care team will be in contact with you. You may also reach our office at 1-866-866-6605.

Best SCCA Cup car tire ever made
I've read a lot of negative comments about this tire. I'd like to offer my thoughts, a consumer should always educate themselves about a product before purchase. I see many comments placing fault on the manufacturer for a specific product not meeting the consumers expectations. Researching a product before purchase is the consumers responsibly. The Cup 2 tire is NOT an every day tire. The manufacturer clearly states this, and DOESN'T recommend it for such use. But if you're racing SCCA or Trans-Am This is the tire to have. And yes, the tire is good for one race... Sorry that's just the nature of the beast.
Thanks for taking the time to submit a review, Joseph!

On my M4 these tires last 5 months.
I used to love Michelin tires but my opinion has changed, I buy tires now that cost 3 times less and perform just as good. For track days these tires will last you one day. On streets it will last me 6 months I don’t want to pay 3k per year just to have Michelin’s the company is going downhill with marketing. Yes they look good but my problem is safety and durability. You see when I had about 8k miles on my M4 my rear tires almost got me killed by hydroplaning on a highway at 80mph good thing I knew how to drift so I was able to stabilize the car. First thing I did when I got home is take these tires off. The rubber is too soft and in the state of Florida they wear out way to fast. Michelin step your game up and not prices.
Impressive grip and durability
My 156 GTA runs 18” OZ Ultraleggera with 225/40 all round. This year i have done tracksdays at Nürburgring, Spa Francorchamps and Knutstorp - plus a number of weekend trips in the Alps. Still quite some tread left and just awesome performance.
