Michelin Cup 2 (two)

[alexk]

Has anyone concluded what is the difference between original cup and cup 2?

Same setup, same track... what is the laptime difference ?

I've just ordered a set of cup 2's for the CSL today. Currently on super sports and wanted something a bit more sticky.

chatting to pinkpanther today about tyres at Brands Hatch, watching the M3Cup boys slide around on the Nangkangs, me thinks they go off pretty quickly

So we decided that if everybody buys me a set fo Nangkangs, set of Cup2 and Dunlops Dzo3g, ill do a controlled test at spa :thumbs:

All said and done ,you can't really beat original cups

From my first drive on Dunlop 03g on the road, mixed conditions from cold I'd say they are better than cups. Had grip straight away, didn't feel heavy and was able to push harder.

At Snetterton on Wednesday so will probably rain.

They look bloody awesome on the car.

I now have a new set of Cup 2s in CSL sizes mounted.
I will do a scientific comparison between original CSL Cup and Cup 2 at Anneau du Rhin and Monza.

The Cup 2 is certainly wider and sitting wider in the rims.

Interested to know Alex, or I will buy the Dunlops next

If you're on 18s, the Dunlops are even better than normal Cups grip wise anyway (noisier though, but if for track use, you won't notice)

Resurrecting an old thread... what was the definitive conclusion on these?

[shimmy]

We used 18inch pDunlop’s on the E46 race car and they worked really well. I have two used sets I’m about to sell if anybody wants them, Both sets have some decent life left and one set only used in one race

Just bought a set in OEM CSL sizes. Will provide road feedback when they are fitted. Unlikely that I will do track any time soon.
