Has anyone used sport cup 2? I spent a fortune on a rear set and it is terrible and won't grip in most weather condition

I read online and some suggest running it at 26psi which seems too low.

Most days in uk weather is either cold or raining so in 365 days mabye I use it dozen days when weather is hot and traction is good

It is a track focused tyre, so not really sure what you were expecting it would do in the cold and wet. Michelin Sports 4S would be a much better all round tyre.

Car had Pirelli p zero and not great and given power increase and it was hot summer day I was fooled to buy what I considered would be better than pilot super sport given power is stage 2 so bought cup

On my previous m5 had pilot sport 3 and was good
Hardly done 800 miles and sport cup is finished smile

Michelin PS Cup 2 are a track focused tyre. A much more suitable tyre for an every day car would be the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S which works considerably better in the cold and wet.
that said, at this time of year, a PS4S is going to struggle too, but to a much lesser extent that a Cup 2.

No idea how you've scrubbed a set of cups out in 800 miles though...

I have a new set of 4S on my m3 and the grip has been amazing in this weather. I was dreading driving in these conditions on the older tyres.
