The couple of times I was out on track in my Carrera, I found myself wishing I was on Cup 2s but knew I'd also want (at least) 10-15% more spring…but that's a (very) slippery slope with a sports car for the street or daily driver.

Whilst this is true, I’ve pretty much ran cup2 on all my street cars. BMW M3,M4 and M5, and my 350Z.

They need to make a cup2-R with more tread fir the ultimate track day tyre. Whilst they are a PB tyre, I can still get 4 half track days from them with street driving in between. A little less PB and more tread would make them perfect. They have much narrower tread grooves and much stiffer side wall.

I’m a huge fan of the CR-S. It punches well above its weight. It has a nice stiff sidewall for tracking and its quiet on the street. I did a track day in the rain and was pleasantly surprised at the grip. One of the best budget tyres around. At half the cost of a cup2-R they are awesome value.
