BatMobile Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Just to summarise then - trofeo and cup2 are both good tyres, which one you prefer is probably personal opinion unless you enjoy a wet track day, then the cup2’s are the better bet. If you are on a budget go for whichever of those two thats cheaper at the time. Geo set up is key to maximising the tyres potential - some issues might not be tyre related but rather set up. psi needs to be 30 hot but checks need to be done after each session as track temp etc vary. Sorry for some of the drift thread and thanks for bearing with me - been super helpful. RS4 let us know which you choose and how you think they compare. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going with 285/30/18 rears would only make it ~£15 more expensive, still at around £650 for a set delivered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS4 Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Thanks folks - I’ll sort something out later this week what tread depth do the Trofeo start at, i know less than normal. Ive got 3 ‘away’ day track days coming up so don’t want to get caught short away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550superfast Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 @RS4 you have snoozed us in to submission with you indecision Go trofeo if you want outright grip, if you want them to last longer go Cup2 - if you go Cup2 you can get the slightly larger size 2 Quote https://www.youtube.com/user/400superamerica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

550superfast Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Tread depth of Trofeo is 4mm down to wear bar, 3mm on outer edge and 5mm on inner edge. Quote https://www.youtube.com/user/400superamerica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcx Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I've only really driven my cup on ZZRs apart from a couple of weeks when I first had the car on Pzero Trofeos. 99% happy with the ZZR apart from a sub zero temp day (cold but dry) earlier this year when I couldn't get any temp in them and found them tricky on the limit. I did a load of laps (also at Spa) running along with a 360 cup on cup2s and we were very similar on track. I've not especially enjoyed the ZZR in the wet but have driven a few more wet laps than last year (patchy not teeming) and found them ok. Interesting that the ZZR are maybe not road legal.. I need to did around for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
