What Tyres do you prefer?

Does anyone actually run the Michelin cup tyres on normal day to day use? (Avoiding wet days)

I hear so much about how well they perform..but are they strictly for track use or not?

What is the preferred type of tyre that everyone would recommend(MPSS?)

I run cups, but don't get caught in the rain, bloody dangerous

Summer all year around but yes, just be careful in the wet.

My recollection of Cups in the wet was rev flares and traction control intervention durin mild acceleration in 3rd. I'm summer running only, but live in Scotland, so run Super Sports, I can't see how you need anything more for the road.

I don't really rate cups,
If you want a track focused tyre get a trackday tyre
Dunlop DZ, yoko, toyo ect ect
If your using it on the road with different surfaces and conditions
You won't do better than super sports.
IMO
also I seem to go through a set of cups in about a month.
