Michelin Connect PSC2 on Track?

[Powerslide]

Has anyone used this new system on track yet - and if so - how did you like it? It looks like a pretty cool system so I'm curious to hear everyone's feedback who has tried it.

Probably not worth the price of entry haha.

295/30/19 TR Price is $576
265/30/19 TR Price is $443

295/30/19 TR Price for Hoosier R7 is $429 lol

Definitely a cool technology though!

What can you get from this that you can't get from a tpms sensor, pyrometer and telemetry?

repeatability, ease of use, no second person running around pit lane. If track temps change during the day you can get new data easily.

It's cool but really expensive. The PSC2 does well in Europe where there aren't really any competitor tires but in the US we have more options

Those are exactly the factors I was thinking of - but yes - is expensive.

I just noticed that TireRack.com no longer sells the rear Bridgestone RE-71R sizes that I use - so I started looking for extreme performance summer tires that I could DD as well - and the Michelin PSC2 Connect are the only - or one of the only tires that fit this criteria and that will also fit my 20" Satan rims (I only track 3-5 times a year - so still don't have dedicated track wheels/tires - may have to take the plunge on that in 2021).

If my RE71R's in rear sizes were still available - I'd just order another set of those - but not sure what else would fit 666Ms aside from PSC2 Connect (first world problems). Only 1-2 more sessions available this season here in the Midwest - so guess I'll be making a decision soon either way...

True! Was genuinely interested.

I took the plunge and ordered it - will he installed next week - will post thoughts once I've used it on track (hopefully this month or next).

I wonder how they will hold up with high temperatures, I cooked two TPM sensors on my track wheels last weekend. Last I saw was 192F on two wheels then done.
