CSL addicts,

Looking into new set of boots for the car (standard sizes)

I was wondering what the '+' represents on the CUP+ tyres versus the original standard CUP name?

Cheers

It's a slightly different tread style & compound. Wider channels for better water shifting. So not as good as Man Cups :thumbs:

So will the cup+ be ok on a CSL? Or does the differance in tyre size make a huge differance to handling?

Im assuming the grip is similar if not better than pilot sports?

Okay so if im currently running Pilot Sports, but need to replace a decent set of Cup+ (given the 265/30/19 size), would still be a good alternative for both track and road as opposed to say another set of Pilots or Toyo's etc..?
