I did Track Attack this week and noticed the cars had a pretty good negative camber in the rear. I Also noticed the tires were not the same as my ‘19. The ride a long told me my Sport Cup 2’s are not needed for me.
Whatever they were using had incredible grip.
Glad you enjoyed your time there! They’ve got a great program, that’s for sure.

They use the recommended track alignment outlined in the manual, so it should be -2.2 in the rear.

Students drive ‘18 and older cars with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports and instructors drive ‘19 and newer cars with the cup 2’s.

Great information...Thank you!
I was going to go with the PSS when my Cup 2’s wear out anyways. I was very pleased how they performed on track for me.
This was my first time on track and will not being tracking this car in competition. I will be on track just to have fun.

If you don’t care about every 10’th, then the SS is definitely a better all around tire for driveability and longevity.

agreed, you can go extremely fast on super sports and they last long and work in rain too...

I wish I didn't care as much about shaving tenths some days haha.
