As per Mike R, I always take the Michelin Cups in tyre bags strapped down in the back and drive over with the Michelin PS2s. You could even get some copy CSL wheels for the second set if you want to keep costs down.

Whatever tyres I ended up using, I would drive home on

Obviously never done the Ring so my experience is other track based. I'd say that Cups are just as grippy as any other road tyres, unless there is real standing water.
The problem with Ups stat as soon as people see water or rain, they slow down and take it easy and then you tend to find it hard to get the Cups up to operating temps and the rain then keeps poling them. If you are man enough to get heat in them by still driving at 98% then they wil be fine. The best example probably is back at Sillystone last year when the CSL boys encountered rain and my heavy worn Cups were equally as grippy as anybody's tyres.

I look at the weather forecast the day before and fit the tyres that are likely to be required and take the others "just in case" - its not rocket science
