Pilot Sport Cups

[rtune]

Would it be a mistake to fit pilot sport cup tires to my skyline that is only a fair weather

and occasional driver training / casual track day car?

A mistake as in .. not worth the bucks, too noisy on the road, wear too fast vs the next

best semi-slick?

I have potenza RE01-R now, which were decent, but are nearing the end of their life.

(Getting new tires sourced in australia even average ones are expensive but I can get

a set of 265 pilot sport cups via fedex for about $1600).

I had The pilot sports (granted not the cup) on the front for a while, was a 225 40 r17 on a 9"rim and the amount of flex was horible and they had almost no grip, squeeled horibly in hard corners to. Was so bad that I actualy took them off and got someting else...

By comparison, I had RE 050 bridgestones on the front before that in the same size and they were excelent...

I had PS2s on an audi and liked them. But the Cups are something else again, they are basically

a road legal slick. Absolutely impossible in the wet. They were standard fitment on the M3 CSL and

scared the bejeesus out of drivers who thought a bit of rain would be ok.. I read they are

popular with porsche cup drivers on track days.

I'm not really in doubt over their track performance, just wondering if they'd been tried and rejected

by other skyline drivers for one reason or another.

I've got PS2s on my GTR (255/35/18) and the're great.

went from RE55s to them as the semi was sh!t on the road.

sh!t in more ways than just when the road is damp or wet?
