F8 Michelin Cup2s on the F8 Tributo for the track

I plan on switching to them when these PS4's wear out

 

I use them on the 458. Great tires, lots more grip. But performance wise they fall off quicker than street tires.

I get several track days 4-6 track days depending on how hot they get.

Kudos if tracking the F8, I haven’t tracked mine yet. I’ve seen only one on track briefly during an FCA event.

 

I have them on my Pista.

They heat cycle out very quickly, 15 cycles tops.

What's more, if you want optimal lap times (i.e., max grip) then the sweet spot is around cycle 4-6, after that lap times drop off pretty quick.

Good tire, but it has its limitations as do all tires with soft compound.

 

You should be okay. Just keep an eye on the Cup 2s, especially the outside edge where the sidewall meets the tread. And that ‘some tread left’ doesn’t guarantee a great tire.

I got tired (no pun intended) of constantly swapping and bought a second set of rims. I keep Cup 2s on one set and road tires on the other.

But you’re probably ok doing it twice per year.

 

I think more pics of that garage are in order.

Just an FYI, the owners manual does not recommend putting the Cup sport 2s on the standard, non forged wheel.

@Petrolhead#32 that’s a beautiful garage. What make and model scissors lift is that? How was the install?

I am looking for one (possibly two) for my cars……
