Did you check your pressure and temps before and after on both sets of rubber? That may provide with some useful information.
But of course =)

I started both days with 32psi all around and kept bleeding down after every session to maintain about 32. The car was very neutral with the new swaybar setting and the shocks so I didn't have to fuss much with them.

The Victos were coming up to temp much faster than the Michelins (obviously) but they stablized after two sessions. By the end of the day one of the rear Victos had a big blister in it (overheating I guess).

How many laps were the Michelins good for before losing grip?
Like any other street tire, when you first go out you can get them greasy after only a few laps because the pressure skyrockets. Once you've bled down and they're at ~32psi hot, they're good for 5-7 laps (at 8/10ths) before they get greasy. Once that happens even a drive through in the pits is enough for the to cool off enough for another 5-7 laps. Alot of camber REALLY helps these tires out as it gets you on the outside where the softer compound is.
