Michelin advertises them as track tires:

Quoting Tire Rack:
"The Pilot Sport Cup 2 is Michelin's Streetable Track & Competition tire originally developed for Original Equipment use on the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Mercedes SLS AMG Coupe Black Series and Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid super sports car. Designed to provide faster circuit times and consistent performance lap after lap, the Pilot Sport Cup 2 allows these supercars to achieve their full potential in dry conditions."
Nobody said they aren't street tires. But they are purposefully designed for track racing. They are also NOT STOCK TIRES. That is what this discussion is about.
As per Merc I'm no longer going to post, if you still feel some type of way about it feel free to start another thread.
