I switched from the stock tires to the Cup 2 R, the difference was incredible. The difference in grip and acceleration quite noticeable. Overall a very impressive set of tires but i would say dont expect to run on them for a long time. Especially if you aim to achieve maximum performance on most if your drives, and not recommend for wet days. However this is exactly what I expect from such a compound.

Great on both road and track, need for extreme care on wet tarmac.

Incredible Results on the race day we almost a whole second faster just by swap from cup 2 to Cup 2 R Little tricky to set the right pressure and temperatures but finally we do it right. and very satisfy with the tires.
