18 laps delaminating

Fit the Cup 2 R tires on my Porsche GT4RS, took them out at oem pressure for a few laps to scrub and heat cycle, next day adjusted pressure and ran them, 18 laps and one started delaminating and the rest have a crazy ware for such a little time on track at a HPDE event, I’m not a pro driver or racing them and they are really bad looking for 18 laps and a big price tag.

Great tires but hard to service

I spec’s these tires on my Ferrari SF90 after having them on my 812GTS. They are great tires when used properly. Make sure they are properly warmed up before pushing them and I never drive in the rain. My only complaint is I’ve had 3 nail punctures in one year. My local tire dealerships won’t touch them because of tread depth. Below their limits of 3/32nds, even though they were 200 miles old! I told them this is how they are designed and my local Discount Tire called Michelin and we sat there for 25 minutes while the girl online supposedly went to measure tread depth. She told him all 3 grooves were over 1/4” and so he refused to service it. That was totally wrong. The center groove is visually less than that when new! My friend at BMW took care of it because he was familiar with these tires. You need to educate these tire stores, and your own employees, on serviceability of your product.

I recommend this tire

Completely Insane

Legitimately 0.5-1s per lap performance improvement compared to regular Cup 2, which are already unbelievable. As one should expect, this comes with big compromises - tire life is not great, and they are downright scary on wet roads and very prone to hydroplaning in standing water. I got 3 track days and ~3000mi of spirited road driving out of a set before I was down the wear bars. Worth it if you know what you're getting into and have a car that can actually leverage this tire.
