Good autocross tire then?

@@justinevanitsky7161 why wouldn’t it be? If you got the money

I don't think it will be good for autocross. I bet the dam tire won't even heat up to fast on autox course

@@justinevanitsky7161 Not the ideal tire, PS4S would be a better choice. Maximum grip only comes after warming the Cup 2 Connect tire to the optimal operating window, and during extended track sessions, you'll be able to manage that. AutoX isn't structured in a way that takes advantages of these tires. With AutoX your car will sit until your class is called (tires are cold), you start your car (tires still cold), you wait in line (tires still cold) and then you launch the car down a 2 minute obstacle course. Once you're done, you park the car and wait and the tires cool down again. By the time you've completed the course, your Cup 2 Connects may not even be switched on yet. Tire warmers are the best way to get the tire ready to hook off the line, but honestly, the cup2 will slide if its not warm enough. With a run for 2 minutes, rest for 30 minutes AutoX session, the cup 2 isn't the tire. Plus for most AutoX you never leave second gear, so the low speeds you're doing wont be putting much heat in the tire either. In my experience, AutoX is the poor mans track day. Look into more dedicated HPDE track days at legit courses, it'll be way more fun

They plan on releasing more sizing in phases, and then I'm sure the tech itself will trickle into other models as well.

the ps4s was always going to out perform the PSC2 in the wet, the PSC2 was designed with less ruts and tread, even just looking at the face of the tyre you can see the PSC2 was more dry bias

Yes the psc2c will be better in the wet from new due to increased tread depth but once there worn , who knows if the compound changes will be relevant to wet grip.

Hi Kirby, did you compare them against N0/N1 PSC2? Do connects feel softer or harder? For how long did try to run connects before switching back to regulars?

@@kirillart I have run to 5 - 6 sets of Cup2s both N0 and N1. I don't know if there was a differnce in feel connects vs regular (softer vs. harder). I ran the track connect for 2 track days and a hill climb before switching back to the regular Cup2.

Can't wait to give them the bully beatdown and see how they do!

Compound, design, and cooling have a lot to do with it. I see your concern, I thought the same thing. But they have the stats to prove it's faster.

@@fitmentindustriesgarage5583 at the risk of sounding stupid, are we sure that tire on the right with the huge grooves is a sport cup connect?

@@WhyDidYTstartThisHandleShit Yes.

@@WhyDidYTstartThisHandleShit I know what you mean, I think it's the tire on the left that is wrong, it looks more like a Cup 2 R on the left, rather than a standard cup 2. I've got a standard cup 2 setup and it looks more like the one on the right in terms of grooves.

Every single SC2 variant (K0, N0, N1, etc.) is designed for different cars, GT350, Ferrari, Porsche, etc. So two SC2 can be drastically different in tread and compound, and have different appearance even though they’re both SC2. You have to take that in consideration when comparing whatever SC2 is on the screen with whatever SC2 you have at home.

What car?
