Mad Hatter
Gotta go Faster
I just wanted to confirm that these two great tires are about even in lap times using the same sizes, with a slight advantage to the R7's on lap times and the Cup 2's lasting longer... Is that about right??

PSCs are not rain tires. Zero ability to move water away from the contact patch and difficult to maintain within the temp window in the wet.
Shaved Pilot Super Sports (6/32) we’re decent in the wet for high hp applications when sized appropriately and treated nicely lol.
Try a shaved Hankook RS4 or a Toyo R888 if you are talking about very damp to small puddles. Go full depth for standing water or streaming.
How many heat cycles do people usually get out of R7/SC2?

I use PSS as my street/wet tire. To be Race competitive in full wet conditions Hoosier H20 or Conti full wets are the way to go.
Data points appreciated. A bit rich for my blood right now, at least until the IRAs start having to pay out later this year. Maybe when I eventually cord or almost cord a tire in the MPSS track set, unless Michelin decides to offer a better PS4S size in 18".Typically I'm getting 16-18 cycles, on both, but with 30 minute sessions they tend to cord prior to cycling out. That's with L/R rotation. I've seen up to 22 cycles with shorter sessions on less abrasive tracks.
I am experiencing similar life w/ R7s, 315/30/18.+1

Sounds like you're planning for fully wet with standing or streaming water, so you might want to pay attention to the tread width dimension as well as the nominal size here. In terms of nominal size, you could go as 'narrow' as 275/35 on 11" wide rims.I am going to be running these on an 11" square set-up so I have the ability to go fairly wide, say 315s. Does size matter or does wider mean more chance of hydroplaning??
