Title: Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres
Post by: WD-40 on 01 September 2017, 11:14

I've got the Cup 2 tyres on my recently acquired Clubsport Edition 40. I must admit I was a little concerned about buying a car with semi-slicks as it's my daily driver (40 mile EW commute). But for now, in the dry, I'm loving them!

Has anyone got any experience of using these tyres over the autumn / winter (anything to be concerned about)?

Or has anyone swapped them yet for alternative 235 35 19 tyres?

No on a Golf but I have on other cars and they are fine in the wet unless it is really really wet as in lots of standing water. What they don't like is cold weather in winter.
