Lovertyres.com used to be competitively priced but I haven't had a set for a year or 2.

Could someone advise recommended pressures for Cups for road use please?

I think I run 33/34 psi all round for road from memory.

I'd love to try cups but living in Scotland they just seem like an bad idea.

I might give Cup 2s a go in the specs suggested, it seems odd that they're on everything sporty now yet completely panned on here. Someone must be doing something wrong.

I've talked to the Cup 2 tyre engineer at Michelin so ping me a note at work and I'll tell you what to get.

Righto will do. For scientific purposes I should compare them to Cup 1, so if anyone wants to meet me at a track with a set of freshly bedded tyres on rims, that'd be great. Thanks

Will ask him what to fit to the Cayman R I've just bought as well....

I'm looking to buy a set of full fat cups with recent production dates. Where's the best place to source, and would there be any point looking at a group buy?
