Be aware that Cup2s are not very good in the rain. They are track tires that "can" be used on the street. But their forte is dry track tire, not necessarily a street tire. If you're buying Cup2s, you should be running it primarily on a track, not the street.

You may have had PS2s, which is an old design and not a great tire IMHO - rides rough and takes significantly longer to warm up on the track than SuperSports or Conti DW.
