my Cup 2 tires after a track day
pretty sure I had Super Sports for my first track day, not sure I have pictures of it
I just saw the Throttle House episode with the Lotus Emira and Corvette Z06, and they mentioned that the Cup 2 tires were almost cheating, they were so grippy. Dare I even ask what they run for a set?
I think the Z06 uses Cup 2R tires not Cup 2, a bit different
I think I pay almost $2000 for the set, before installation
Wow, you had a good day!! What do you drive and which track?
that was a 2012 Cayman R, at Grandsport Speedway, I have a 2020 GT4 now
I absolutely love both cars
Both those cars are fantastic machines! Thanks for sharing.
Speaking of tires, I just picked this up today 😭
Ouch, that sucks. Hopefully you were near a repair place or run ZPs.
I considered not using ZPs and then got two flats picking up crap like that in a single week. Cured me of that consideration.
these are not run flats, had to get it towed to the dealership
That sucks. Hope the tow truck driver was great!
oh yea lol, the car was so low I rubbed the dirt off his bed on the way up
but the front splitter is much stronger than it looks, I already knew that from daily driving it lol
Not something I've added to my car yet, this gives me more confidence. I just imagine ripping it off on a speed bump or something.
mine is stock, I haven't tried an aftermarket one, but it's definitely had some hard hits and scrapes but no real damage
Nice! My son keeps telling me I need that and a bunch of other stuff. I wasn't sure but after my first track day I feel like I need a better handling car than this Corvette. So we'll see.
