Michael They are crap give me his number :whistle:
No they will be the new cups if they look slightly different
i think they are almost the same.
Are the the right size as the porsche has wider rears than a csl.

Will they be the same as the e92M3 Mark? Cup+ I think they call them.

Cup+ like the E92 M3 have better wet weather performance but as a trade off to dry grip. Compund mix is different to Cups and also check if they are N rated in which case you will find the rears have stiffer sidewalks for rear engined cars although this may only be appropriate for PS2.
Also you will prob find the profile size slightly out!
The fronts will be worth having but i think the rears will be the wrong size etc!

There is more than 5mm of thread too, isn't there?
Hence they might not be as new as they look?

fronts are 235/35 x19 and the rears are 265/30x19 ,slightly wider groove than normal cup tyres ,can get them for £10 each

Err, OK. Think we know what's going on there. Don't give him your address or he'll be selling your car back to you in bits. :bigcry:

Sounds like you guys are just paying this guy to go and nick the wheels off some other poor CSL owner... no upside in funding these kinds of people.

Then again they may be making them from used condoms??
Hence saving the environment and we are doing the world a favour.

Would like to try cups to see how much more grip you get than with PS2s.
Better get a list going who gets the next set :hahaha: :hahaha:

It's like night and day. CSL belongs on Cups. Just make sure you warm them up nicely.

Cups are a must for the CSL
BUT AND ITS A BIG BUT
1) They need temp in them ( Slippery when cold )
2) No good with standing water ( slow down )
3) 5mm tread new ( They don’t last long )
4) Brill when Hot (Just like a women )
5) For the track a must (Almost as good as sex )
You wont believe how good they are :thumbs:
Now get a set on as the summer will soon be here
:-D :-D :-D
Thats what i am doing, using cups for the summer! :beer:

I think PS2's are impressive though.

I run Michelin PS2s on the road and Cups on track.
But if i did not live in Scotland (Freezing and wet here all the time )
It would be Cups for me :thumbs:
