I know that 265/30-19 is the preferred, but will a 265/35-19 not work?

Technical wizards will chime in here but I think that would upset general settings and balance of the car. Might even result in some rubbing with coilover setups.

I think a friend has tried them on his M3 GTS, but he now swears by the Yokohama Advan Neova:

Are Michelin claiming an improvement over the current cups?

The biggest compliment I hear from Cup 2 users is thread life. Some said It lasts almost twice as Cups. Which would be a huge decision maker for me as our Istanbul Park F1 circuit is a tyre eater.
Wet handling is also said to be better.

Twice as long....Michelin may really dent their sales!!

Every article I read or crap YouTube video I have seen only compares them to cup+.

I doubt there will be much difference between the cup and this.

Might aswell stockpile the cups off tyre leader in advance.
