Re: Michelin Pilot Sport CUP
Ans is : Not a single shop
Tires like these are typically on order request basis.
The reason tire shops dont want to stock up these sort of tires are because of various factors:
1. Lack of continuous demand
2. Unlike street tires, semi/slick tires are typically only good for 6mths as the compound can easily harden up if not in use.
The way i c is ...unless we hv our own track circuit, we won't be able to get this type of tires off the shelves so easily esp if we r talking bout expensive ones like PS Cup and Pirelli Corsa.

i was running hot 32 in front n 31 psi behind on corsas. perfect. the psc r softer in compound i feel. but eh corsa has stiff sidewalls. prob stiffer than psc. on SIC its good...but once the road gets uneven...it can skip. the chicane in turn 2. i brushed it slightly n the car din like it. in the maser on psc...it just runs over it. maybe maser suspension is a lot softer as well.

Both are good in my book, similar performance but the CORSA surely lasts longer.
I suppose this is due the softer compound in the PSC. This makes the PSC slightly better in terms of grip and braking. As for steering sharpness n turn-ins...both are very similar.
Will see how the heatcycle this time affects the PSC for the next outing.
I was quite happy with the CORSA in that aspect after the 3rd outing.
Technical aspects aside, the CORSA, being same size as the PSC on the same rim, looks ugly in the shoulder coz too roundish..yikes.
Maybe it sits better with 11J instead of 12J
But still cudnt beat you, BFG Full Slick...ha
Maybe I shud try the Hoosier R6? Need help to bring up the wheels tho..

Re: Michelin Pilot Sport CUP
actually running Slick is cheaper than running semis.. esp if u run the Endurance compound, which can last u 80laps! only prob is transportation up!
I feel the PSC has better heat management than most Jap semis, except for the ADVANS. The Toyos, Bridgestones, all have good grip, but can't tahan the heat.. Also the PSC road noise is one of the best for Semi slick category!! Macham road tire sia... whereas those Jap ones, roar like Lorry tires!!

Re: Michelin Pilot Sport CUP
+1 dude.....but imho i still feel the PSC is a tyre for the road and not a full semi for track, i didnt feel comfortable on it at SIC macam like tracking on ice and was abt 2-3 secs slower than a used a048. Thats e reason y i change back to Advan...

Ya Chief, I'm a bit siao only, not very siao yet. My sai kong did a 2.40mins on the e39 with open diff and no LSD . He was telling me the compound was soft with flex on the side wall, he had not reach the limit yet. Waiting for next outing Pak .wilman2772;421992 said:
