cups on the road

[dave1]

not writing them off but i think there better suited to trackday's and the ring a bit of compliance from the tyres on the road let's it dig in better and it certainly is easier to live with

[shimmy]

they are certainly a bit more directional and tramline slightly but they do suit the car on road when you get used to them

[dave1]

deffo tramline more than road tyres

[SpineOnABap]

They are definitely the best tyres for the CSL, road-wise. PS2 and Contis (the only alternatives I've tried) don't work as well. The PS2 are close but not quite there, and the Contis are rubbish (Conti 2 that is).

Dave, once you understand how the Cups work you won't look back. There's absolutely no way I'd run any other tyre on mine. I have standard suspension but maybe your KW's aren't ideally set up for you.

As my car is just for fun and only comes out for more serious driving :wink: , I set my pressures 26psi cold. Once the temps are in them they are awesome on road. But as a daily driver, if your doing quite a few miles, it's a waste to run Cups. Unless your commute takes in the Evo triangle or similar. :smokin:

[dave1]

my car is for fun too and im on standard suspension i,ll try em again on a warmer day with less pressure :thumbs:

[SMD]

Try 28psi cold Dave! :beer:

[dave1]

the other thing i dont like is im aware of the cost and wear rate so it is stoping me driving sideways and that is half the point having this thing :wanker:

[jibm]

ive had mine on for a couple of weeks now with stock suspension - and IMO they transform the car! although my car had conti's on which i hate anyway. i'm running 29psi from cold and it took about 80 miles for them to behave nicley when first fitted. Like you said try a few more miles before you write them off. :thumbs:

[AlexGTT]

Good point jibm, Cups are very slippy slidey when new. Go real careful for the first few miles. Warm them up and there's no better road tyre. They take some time in colder conditions but I had a great drive last Sunday, the first time ambient temps rose above 10 degrees round here. I forgot how good they were. :-D
