Didn't have a

tyre for my 17x8 et45 braids so got me a set of Cup2 in 225/45R17. Suprisingly soft in sidewall and light tyre. Yet very very sweet steer, with lovely clean feedback, feels very agile, damping lovely, loves to be pushed to the limit. Flex perfectly in tune with suspension, first grip tyre that doesn't send me messages about too soft bushing or bracing needed etc, no all stock feels absolutely fine. And lastly, contrary to other sizes of this tyre, suprisingly affordable. Running 2,5bar cold 20C ambient due to relative tall sidewall. Rain and/or cold remains to be seen. If it's a bit too tricky (as I've heard), have other tyres for that.... Looks like a perfect complement to my little hooligan drift tyre set.
Just my initial impressions, haven't done exhaustive comparative testing....
