I've been led to believe they cope pretty well in damp conditions, just standing water is to be avoided?
Experiences are most welcome!

If your Mich. CUPs are nice & fresh they will have quite surprising levels of grip as I've experienced on the recent 2000 mile + Epic
10th Anniversary CSL Munich trip via the Ring during which Full Phat CUPs were my only tyre option
for the entire trip.
We had mixed weather throughout the whole trip, including @ the Ring ( surprise, surprise
) and my Brand spanking New rear Cups & 30% worn fronts CUPs on OEM 19" wheels gripped with vigour
Just don't push your luck @ the Green Hell too far and drive appropriately to the weather conditions.
As said before "be brave"
and enjoy
Mich CUPs are the Ultimate CSL tyre choice.
