cups
 
is tyre leader still the place for cups?

or cup 2s. I am running low on tyre life but since the days of cheap cups seem to be over, I'm also looking at cup 2s.

seems like blackcircles is pretty good for a fully fitted deal. ANy other suggestions? tks

Blackcircles should be best - they're now owned by Michelin.

Or try the Dunlop 03G, very good grippy tyres, will keep someone honest on slicks. I found pretty decent on damp track and on wet/damp road on route to track.

Catch up at Silverstone soon.

Why?

Mike R 22-03-2017 09:32 AM

Because the Cup 2s are good up to a point - they are the same as R888s where they seem to have a narrow lap window of operating before they get too hot and go off very quickly. This makes them okay on the road, but a let-down on track, where you can only get 2-3 fast laps at a time.

The Trofeo Rs are more like the Cup 1s in grip and operating window. They actually do the correct CSL sizes (front and rear) as well....
