Indeed.

I've driven my CSL all through the winter with the Cups fitted and it's been fine. Now that they're low (read bald) they're a little bit sketchy in the damp, but guess what pop pickers? I'm still alive!

Lets not forget that the Cup is still a road tyre tha that happens to be rather handy on track.

Just one thing though - driving normally how long roughly does it take to get heat in them?

Launch control ?? 3 seconds :thumbs: ... dont be too paranoid about what you hear said about driving on cups, they arent as bad as would first appear, I have been driving on them for just over a year and only had the one crash !!!

Buy new and the second hand, use the new for ring trip

But some second wheels for the used ones to keep as track wheels

That's what I would do

+1 on that fooker ! ... in fact I bought 'em off ya !

i remember Spa last year with MLR

Duncans Cups were bald again and we got off the Eurotunnel in the UK coming back and the great weather that day ended and the heAvens opened.

aLL I remember was Duncan on his phone on the M20, outside lane about 100mph, bald tyres standing water and me praying! (off course this is all a lie if any plod are reading)

For ten years with my M3 3.2 I never even owned normal road tires :whistle: In the winter I put on winter tires (it's a law here in Sweden) and the rest of the year on different r-compound tires. But the ring at speed in the rain in a new unknown car on cups..... naaahhhh..... sounds risky IMHO.

How do you get four wheels into the car? Folding the back seats I can shove two wheels in easily, but four? Would be good to know :-)

Dont tell him Pike !!:hahaha:

I had forgotten about that !! ... wasnt so bad, Adam was steering for me whilst I took the call !!!

Last October T$ and I did Ring laps on Cups in the Snow !! ... got there with a couple hours to spare and got on it !! ... easy to follow his line though ! two black lines in a vast expanse of white ! ... if he had gotten the fooker wrong ...so would I :hahaha:

Fold down the back seats, put two rear wheels in the rear.
Remove the cupboard cover, tyre pump and polystyrene in the boot area. Then you can put two front wheels on top of each other.

T$ :thumbs:

I can get a set of OEM CSL 19" wheels in ok without folding the seats. :thumbs:

You can either have them upright or horizontal. I prefer horizontal (stacked 2 high) as they move very little on the seat under braking!

Firstly, i place an old sheet or cover onto the rear seats to help avoid marking damage. To stack them you must first make a stack of 3 high on one side before placing the last wheel on the other side seat. Then pull the highest wheel of the original stack over to make 2 x 2 stacks.

Tip: always have 1 rear/1 front sat next to each other as you cannot get 2 rears next to each other.

I hope this makes sense...!

I haven't tried it with my wider 18" BBS yet though... :bigcry:

Thx! My previous M3 was a four door. Was much easier then :hahaha:

4 wheels go in flat with the seats down no drama....

Alternatively, as dawg says, seats up, 3 upright in the back and one in the boot.

Ive had 4 wheels (with cup tyres) with 3 further tyres in before...

:thumbs:

Just lucky Funtime didnt see me else there would've been a highway robbery attempt...:hahaha::hahaha:
