TBH if you aren't destined for the track neither these or the Cup 2 are what I would choose for the street, the MPS4S would be a better choice.
Very possible that when I will need to replace them in like 3 years I won't choose either again, but I wanted to feel the car as it was designed first

Exactly what I did, in fact when I go to a HPDE I run those tires (yes they are near EOL), they are on separate wheels, on the OEM wheels I run Bridgestone RE980AS in cooler seasons.

I have a set of Apex VS-5RS wheels that I am planning to have MPS4S tires mounted on for summer street driving.

You are going to love the Spyder!

Why do people say that they wouldn't use cup 2s on the street? I did and it's the best tire I've used yet. Decent tire life, sticky, more dynamic and playful.

Received my elevator picture and now on it's way to the port to join the queue, almost time to shift colors to AIS/other ship tracking sites!

The Siem Cicero is docked in Emden.

Hoping against hope that they load my car onto it and all the dates shift back to where they were last week.

Cup 2s are great. Have you tried them in the rain driving at normal speeds?

Yes Spyder. Went into production on April 14, got to Emden on May 25. Now it doesn't seem to get on Siem Cicero at port.

My schedule was updated today. Month delay.

Old schedule:




New Schedule:



Dealer says I'm in Custom Tailoring... I did order a few Exclusive Manufaktur options: Luxor Beige deviated Stitching, steering wheel casing, Extended Dash, Door sills, Bespoke inner door sills, and Painted Climate Control panel.

Hoping the 30 day schedule bump is just a preset delay and it actually finishes earlier.🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm sure I will also get the port delays everyone is having as well. I just want to be able to enjoy it before Summer's end.
