Now that development is done and the Cup2 OE variant has been developed by Michelin, a good option for those looking for a more “track”/“performance” tire can pick up the OE Cup2s off of the M2CS.
The M2CS has nearly equal weight with similar weight distribution and hp/tq.
Without pulling up some of my previous posts about the topic, I used to work for a tier 1 tire manufacturer. These OE tires are DIFFERENT from the cup2s you can buy off the shelf at tire rack as generic replacement tires. They’re designed specifically for the car.
I know I’m waiting for them to become available
