One Year With Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Tires
Let me begin by saying that this report on my experience with the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tire is entirely based on subjective feedback.

130 MPH. So said the digital speedometer in a 996 GT2 as I braked for Turn 1 at Thunderhill Raceway in early 2002. Pro driver Johannes van Overbeek, on hand to set lap times during that test for Excellence magazine, was getting off the last turn harder and braking later on his way into T1. In doing so, he was seeing 135 mph. Today, a 2017 911 …
