Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Reviews

Customers say the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 delivers outstanding dry traction, with exceptional grip, improved lap times, and stable cornering performance ideal for track days and autocross. While some note predictable behavior in light rain, wet conditions often reveal hydroplaning risks and significantly reduced grip, especially when cold. Treadwear receives mixed feedback-aggressive track use leads to rapid wear, but proper alignment and pressure management can extend longevity. Enthusiasts appreciate their heat tolerance and consistency, though they emphasize these tires prioritize peak performance over durability in competitive settings.

145 reviews mention "Dry Traction"

  • 145 positive
  • 0 negative

Customers praise the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's outstanding dry traction, with many scoring 9s and 10s for exceptional grip, predictable cornering, and lap time improvements during track days, autocross, and HPDE events. Reviewers highlight consistent stability at high speeds, responsive handling once warmed up, and confidence-inspiring performance when managing pressures (32-34 psi hot). While noting alignment and heat management are crucial for optimal wear, most agree these deliver top-tier dry performance for their track-focused purpose.

...Excellent steering response and cornering traction. Excellent straight line traction...

Supercharged 791HP the car was scary and uncomfortable to drive with the stock tires. The Sport Cup 2's totally transform the car. Excellent steering response and cornering traction. Excellent straight line traction. The car is a joy to drive now.

...I can't get a recommendation for a better tire than these. They are a good compromise between fantastic grip and reasonable wear.

These tires (235 19 & 265 19) are used for Autocross and Track events and getting to them on normal highways. I can't get a recommendation for a better tire than these. They are a good compromise between fantastic grip and reasonable wear.

  • 42 positive
  • 61 negative

Customers scoring 6 and below report mediocre wet performance, noting hydroplaning in standing water and slippery handling in rain. Some mention unacceptable grip loss in cool conditions, making them risky for wet track use despite their dry-focused design.

...But the wear rate is awful compared to various brands of slick race tyres that cost not much more, and if you drive on public roads, be on your toes if there is heavy rain...

This Cup 2 is considered a track tire. For the price vs performance I think it is over-rated. It has good grip and the tire "talks" to you on the corners, when reaching max grip. But the wear rate is awful compared to various brands of slick race tyres that cost not much more, and if you drive on public roads, be on your toes if there is heavy rain.
Overall, over priced for the performance. Michelin have the market for Porsche 911, Cayman models, so price it accordingly.

...Forget about wet traction and handling. Would never drive this in the rain!

This is THE tire for the GT3. Forget about wet traction and handling. Would never drive this in the rain! This car is for driving Los Angeles Forest Highway from Sunland to Palmdale. Moderate to very aggressive driving depending on conditions. The car came with Pirelles which were very good, but these are even better. When these tires get worn down, they are really loud. I was shocked how much quieter and smooth the ride was after the new set. This is the second set I have installed. 5,000 miles if I am lucky and no mileage guarantee. The harder you push it, the better the grip. I run 31 PSI all around for more control. STAY SAFE!!

  • 70 positive
  • 58 negative

Customers report rapid treadwear, with many dissatisfied by premature cording and short lifespan, even with proper alignment. Multiple reviews note needing replacement after just 2-3 track days or minimal street use, citing excessive wear and cords showing despite intended track use. Tread life often falls below expectations, requiring frequent replacements.

Ignition Porsche Cayman GT4 Hot Lap(03:32)

The car everyone has been waiting for: the 2015 Porsche Cayman GT4. And it begs to be driven on the race track. So Motor Trend Ignition's Randy Pobst took it for "one heckuva lap" on the Streets of Willow to see what the Cayman and its Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires could do. Watch in this Tire Rack Head 2 Head Hot Lap.

Head 2 Head Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Hot Lap(04:57)

We're in the middle of the desert at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, with no one around to complain about any noise, because Motor Trend Head 2 Head's Randy Pobst is in the ‘16 Mustang Shelby GT350R, and it's LOUD.

Its Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, developed by Ford and Michelin, have to manage this beast's 500+ horsepower right where the rubber meets the road.

Head 2 Head 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 Hot Laps(03:38)

Big Willow, the fastest road in the West, is a great playground for Motor Trend Head 2 Head's Randy Pobst. Three-cups-of-coffee-wired fun, in fact, driving the 2015 Porsche 911 GT3! Its higher level of performance requires a tire with grip to match. So the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 it is. We put it to the test during this Hot Lap at the Streets of Willow.
