I think you will find the the rubber is a different compound,very much the same as a Ps2,but with a different tread pattern.

there are two types of Michelin Cup tyre which have two different patterns and. rumoured. compounds;

Michelin Cup and Michelin Cup+

You can easily see the difference in the tyre pattern below(Cup left, Cup+ right). The Cup has a dual band thread and compaund where the outer is there for dry traction and the inner for wet traction. You can see the Cup+ has more grooves and therefore less rubber surface than a comparative Cup tyre. Also the extra grooves give more tyre movement and hence less heat and more lateral wear but better wet grip.



I have not seen it confirmed but the Cup+ is rumoured to have not as grippy rubber compounds (more akin to PS2).

The N0 or N1 prefixes just show they are Porsche Homologated tyres and ok for use on funny cars with big weights at the back! Strange thing is that michelin dont seem to add the + to the tyre when they list the N0 and N1 tyres even though they are Cup+ pattern, look at the stickers on the Cup pictures above, both just say Cup!

265 x 35 with a larger profile making a higher rolling circumference will mean your speedo under read's slightly, which in turn will make your miles clock up more slowly.

At the risk of being flamed for not looking first. Is it worth making a tyre sticky or adding this info to the existing cup one Rob Started
