V12V tyre choices
Discussion
Had Corsas on my previous V12V and have run PS Cup 2's on my current V12VS. There is no comparison in dry performance on the road or on track. The Michelins have noticeably more grip and endure heat buildup better under track use.
These are fun cars for me, not daily drivers, so I can't say I've had much rain driving experience. I was caught out in heavy rain on the Corsas once; I drove sensibly and did not find the tire particularly scary as some have suggested.
I find the Michelins comfortable for a trackday-type tire, and with excellent steering feel. I won't try to compare these aspects with the Corsas, as the V12VS and V12V have, as you know, different suspension and steering setups, and I have not run both tires on both cars.
As for wear, I won't go there, either, as they are soft tires and I have subjected them to track use. Suffice to say they don't last very long...
