Yes, they can do. My Cups at OP were about 2.5mm and worn.

Typically the amount of heat cycles a tyre goes through is the main ageing factor I think. More so that age or tread depth.

I always think Cups are pretty good at keeping 95% of their grip even in old age. Cold or wet weather as always seems to make them seem worse than they might be in the dry

yes mate, it works a treat but dont put loads on as they turn to super soft and then dont last as long

[dave wilkinson]

what kind of miles would you get out of a set of cups on the road?

[s.mac]

I've heard 5000 but I suppose it depends on driving style. I have mine stacked in the garage and don't use them on the road, maybe I should as it hasn't been on track for, bloody hell I cant remember :bigcry:
Silverstone or Donny in 2010 when ever we went there :smt017

[dave wilkinson]

if they'v been stood for that long probably no good now. i can get rid of them for £2 a tyre if you like, i'll even collect them, cos i'm nice like that :thumbs:

5000 miles ain't to bad, just working out weather to get ps2's or cups. or both (but don't tell the misses) :hahaha:
