Michelin Pilot Sport Cup set-up info

[Mike R]

Does anyone have the PDF saved from the sticky above (as the link is no longer active) as I have just fitted my Cups and want to get the best out of them at the 'ring next week?

Are you driving to the ring on them?

[Mike R]

Yes, just to bed them in - I'm taking my MSSs as well (as it usually rains :hahaha: ).

Thats perfect for a heat cycle at a consistent pace.

On mine that I heat cycled, I found the rubber was perfect all through the tyres life and didnt go hard like most of the cups ive seen.

I run mine at 32 psi hot but on 18 inch rims, with even wear -3.25 upfront and -2.20 at the rear but do alternate rims over.

If this is your first time on cups your love them and the extra grip, plus the car comes alive.

Have fun

Mike I generally start around 24psi cold and gauge it from there. I dont like to see them above about 32psi.

Mine have about 2mm left so they are in the back seat and I have my super sports fitted for the journey.

Well jealous im not going sounds fun!
I usually do what billy says regards the tyres then when i slip curse him for being wrong!lol
I ran mine on 30 from cold which became a dangerous move as they heated up.second time round i went 26 cold after speaking to billy and loved em.heated up,they worked great!
