Michelin Power Cup 2 im Test
The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 is widely regarded as a premier track-day tire that offers exceptional dry grip, precise steering feedback, and a progressive breakaway at the limit. While highly capable for spirited driving and HPDE events, users emphasize that it is a specialized performance product with significant trade-offs in longevity, wet-weather capability, and road noise compared to standard ultra-high-performance street tires.

Gut zu wissen
- Users noted that vehicle-specific OEM specifications (e.g., Porsche N-spec vs. BMW spec) can significantly impact steering feel and grip levels.
- Drivers of lighter vehicles like the Honda Fit reported excellent track performance, while owners of heavier or high-torque vehicles noted faster tread degradation.
- The tire's performance is highly dependent on proper pressure management, with some users noting that incorrect pressures on non-track-focused vehicles led to uneven wear or poor handling.
