Using Cup tyres for general road use??

steveH · 19-03-2011, 12:24 AM

As I only do circa 3k miles / year and use as show car whilst appreciate limitations in the wet how many miles likely to get from set of Cups used on road ie no trackdays??
If better option is road going tyres then assume Michelin but Cup2 or standard Pilot??
Any other options??
thanks

I find Cups struggle when venturing 'offroad' though - minimal grip.
