Track day tyres. What to choose ?
Considering what semi slick tyres to choose for track days:
Kumho Ecsta V70A or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup? I used to have Kumhos and I liked them. Do you people know something about M Sport Cup?

Those are expensive tires. Not sure why you'd want to throw down so much coin for michelins. Get something like the Nitto NT-01.

Not a fan of PS Cups...very temp sensitive, need to really slide them around to warm them up (which usually happens before the car and driver are warmed up), you can't flip/rotate them except same side, the shoulders wear fast. Not a fan...

I like the pilot sport cups. I ran them for the first time at my last event of last year and they were very good. I bought them used from a local guy that changed to a different wheel size so he was able to help me get the pressures spot on right from the beginning.
Seriously, the tires are quick and have good grip and long life. I'm looking forward to using them again this season.
