Tires for CSL
Hi, I wrote here some time ago about my sanity for paying €72.000 for a factory new CSL with just 33km and I would be the first owner.
Due to stupid Danish laws where we pay 210% tax on cars (buy one pay for three ... usually the reverse :-( ) it has been very difficult figuring out what the tax is on a 9 year old car, which is factory new. But a way has been found and I transferred the money yesterday :-) This leads me to my question: which tires? On my 997.2 C2S I ran super sports which was the best street tire I have ever had. But I recently upgraded to Cup+ which is a magic tire... In the dry. Although the plus version is actually far better in the wet than I thought. So for the CSL (I will not do too much track days, that will be the 997) which tire? Super sport or Cup+ I am going to the dealer today and sort the practicalities and take pictures of the car, still covered in the factory plastic wrappings. |

If your not going to use it very much I would put full fat cups on it as God intended and not bother with the Cup+.

I couldn't imagine owning the CSL and not have driven it on Full fat Cups, even on the road the immediate feeling is like the car was built for them.......so I have to say Cups, but Supersports are superb tyres.
