Can you use them all year round it you drive with care. When I test drove my first CSL in was November and wet and the car had Cups on. It felt OK and Edward Lovett (Dick Lovett) didn't half give it some.

Yet!!! I have them on all year round. Don't do much mileage in the Winter, which might explain why. Snow last March in Germany was fun.

I have only ever run on cups apart from 1 set of PS2's which I had on there when I bought the csl but then they came with the M3 19". Its not a daily drive but I have driven in nearly all weathers (except snow) and as long as you are careful I have found they are fine. The worst weather I drove in was on the way back from Llandow at night in the pissing rain and the M4 had standing water on some parts but I was still going along at the speed limit (or thereabouts... ) and had no problem with any aquaplaning or feeling like it was going to get out of control. As long as you are smooth with the throttle you will/should be fine...

Same as the Yoko A048's that I had on my Lotus Exiges...people were always asking if they were lethal in the wet but you just drive to the conditions...I never had an issue with them.

Makes complete sense, just drive according the the conditions. ie your tyres and weather.
I drive like a pussy in the wet/winter, so once Im on Cups, that'll prob be me forever Couldnt justify additional tyres for 4months (winter) / 500miles.

Thats made my mind up. Once the Conti's have given up the ghost a set of cups I think.
