Rory, can the Cup 2’s handle sudden downpours? How quick do they warm up in road use?
For a GTD I’d recommend Pilot Sport 4 (or the successor PS5) or 4S. Superb allrounders and the 4 (5?) likely to be slightly more comfy. I’m talking general all purpose road use here, not trying to shave hundredths of a second off in controlled conditions.
I’ve had PS4S’s on two Clubsports now. I was so impressed with them on my Ed40 that I immediately fitted them to my mk8 CS. In the interim I had a TCR with Pirellis (meh tyres) and a BMW 1er with Bridgestones (made of stone too I think).
Absolutely no hesitation in recommending PS4 or PS5 (tyres not gaming consoles) for their slightly toned down therefore likely better all rounder design brief if ride comfort was high on the agenda.
