How many miles have you gotten out of your cup 2's.

Never had a set that didn’t see the race track!

I had over 8000 street miles on a set on my GT4 before I parted with the car, and I don't think they needed replacing anytime soon.

I've got 12700 and still go another 2k. All street

Reading this thread is starting to make me nervous about my street driving...

ubtrippin

Well my street driving consist mainly of hard core country run curve banging. So no slow go here. Havent had time to hit the track yet due to out of town work schedule but it will happen this year. Check out my YouTube channel boots ubtrippin and click on my gt3 run for a taste

The original set of N0 on my 2015 did 10k road miles before seeing the track. I did about a dozen heat cycles on them with grip falling off then got a puncture. Other Cup 2 sets usually lasted about 15 cycles before I wanted new ones.

It really depends upon your definition of lifetime. As a road tire and street driven,
assuming your wheels are aligned properly, I have gotten up to 10,000 Miles
with groove depth being adequate for driving on wet roads.
Keep in mind that with reduced new tread depth, it's wet performance will never
equal a "normal" street tire with greater tread depth such as the Michelin Pilot Sports 4S.

On Track, the performance in terms of lap times will be best when the tire is new
and scrubbed in. As heat cycles increase, the track grip will be reduced and lap tiimes
will increase, so "lifetime" will depend upon how serious you are in maintaining
lowest track times. If you are going for lap records, the "lifetime" would only be
a few heat cycles. Personally, I'm really not that concerned or competitive and have
gone as many as 10 Track days (20-40 Heat Cycles). I have found that the new Cup 2's
yield far more heat cycles (higher G forces) than previous editions or any other track tires I have ever used.

With my schedule I woykd only have time for 1 or 2 track days per year but many country curve runs I could put in. After next weeks 3 sister run I'll buy a new set.

300 miles. First 100 are great. 2nd 100 are ok. Last 100 are slow.

I hope to get about 6 days (about 900 track miles) out of these plus some street driving. For those street and country back road runs I would go with the Pilot Sport 4S. I don’t find the cup 2s to be sticky enough at street temp driving when leaning on them.

ubtrippin

Lol. Oh I get down on mine and although not up to track temp, I get them hot for my back road slow runs. You'll c next week. But still have to be mindful it's the street.

I got 15k out of my last Cup2s. The Dunlops lasted 13k miles.

I've got 10,500 miles on mine, with about 2,000 remaining. I've autcrossed my car about 10 times, so I'm pretty happy with the wear. They have not been competitive in autox since about 8500 miles. I will replace them before the rains come, as they're barely useable in the rain, even when new.

ubtrippin

I've done 9k miles in 4 months. Looks like I'll be going through tires and service more than I want.
