Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect vs Continental SportContact 7 — Compared

“Just took the factory SC7’s off my gfs puma ST, they are super grippy, they feel even stickier than the PS4S on my car but I’d say they are less predictable at the limits and I always felt like they tramlined a bit too much and they weren’t a very comfortable tyre. Fronts have just under half their tread left after 11000 miles. Swapped em out for conti all season contact 2’s as she needs to be able to go out during any conditions and she doesn’t want to have two sets.”

“I've had PS4S and SC7 on my GR Yaris. Each at least 40k km. Grip levels; very similar, both wet and dry. Handling characteristics: PS4 slightly awkward on the limit (better after they warm up), Continental feels more progressive, like softer. The real difference is track wear. None of them should be driven on track for longer periods. 10min sessions are fine. If you go over it, Conti will dissintegrate in a few hours on track. PS4S might take almost double that the milage. I like both, so it comes to your preference considering Handling on the limit and price. I'd take Michelin if price on them is visibly less than double of Conti. Searching for new tyres now and picking beetween Pirelli PZ5 and BRIDGESTONE POTENZA SPORT EVO”

“I’ve got SC7 SSRs on my MINI JCW (250hp, with 420nm torque FWD). And after 8000 miles, I’ve got 2.6mm at the front, and 4.5mm at the rear. Both are getting close to the legal UK limit, so I’ll probably get them changed out. The tyres definitely spin when not warmed up, and almost always spin in the rain. I’m definitely going to be switching to PS4S when I need to change them.”
