watt:

In NZ, wet performance is the top goal and the cup2s are darn good. Was looking to better them in the wet

Wet braking distance from 80 m to 0 m: The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 comes almost 7(!) meters earlier to a stop than the Cup 2. Smiley

Wet handling: The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is 11.1 kph faster than the Cup 2.

Aquaplaning: The Cup 2 "gives up" 5 kph earlier.

Really worth it? Smiley

Worst one is the Toyo R888 R: A bit of a small puddle in the middle of the road and you're...gone. Woosh. No grip at all. The Trofeo R behaves in a similar way but not that bad (Toyo R888 R is almost a slick).

Sport Auto says that the Cup 2 is the best compromise of the three semi-slicks they tested but they do not recommend any one of them for public roads.
