Does anyone use Cup tyres for everyday use, come rain or shine? I read the advice on not using them in cold/ wet conditions, but the official line from Michelin is that they are a good tyre in the wet (I guess they mean on track and when warmed up).

I have used R888s in the torrential rain and not had a massive problem with them - of course they aren't as good as standard road tyres, but you can manage.

The CSL I'm getting has Pirelli P Zero's fitted - not sure what they'll be like really.

But interested in your comments about your experiences with Cup tyres :D

Cheers

Terry
