Due to Michelin discontinuing their Cup 2's, I switched from Cup 2 to Cup 2 Connects. I did not buy the whole Connect temp/pressure recording system, only the tires.
After 2 track days with lots and lots of laps due to open track at Lime Rock and Summit Point Seat Time, I have some mid-term feedback.
The wear rating increased from 180 to 240; however the grip and feedback was easily equal to and maybe better with the Connects. Beat my PB at Lime Rock by a smidge. Love the tires with the only drawback being $$$.
Wear so far is meeting expectations. I would get 4 days out of the Cup 2's and hope to get 5 out of the Connects. Both tires like higher pressures on my car with 41-42lbs hot being the sweet spot. Car has -2.2 camber, lowering springs, rear sway, and stock shocks & brakes (DS2500/Motul 660).
After these go, I am going to give the Falken 660's a try. Much cheaper and good reviews from both TireRack testing and my nephew who uses them on his BMW.
