Planning on Dean’s shop doing it. May would work as I was planning on dropping off on some weekend in the spring and picking up the following weekend. It will be a long drive home to Minnesota with all my track gear in the back.

I only have 2. TireRack sells them for $377 ea ($754 a pair). I would sell pair for $550. I have 2k miles and one track day on them. PM me your cell number and I can text you some pics. The tread depth measures 7 to 8/32 which is the new depth - Except for the outer edge which has more wear. Apparently I need more camber!

You can always buy the other pair new and rotate them into the mix.

roastbeef · 11-16-2018, 12:56 PM

i was hoping to run around on a cheap set (if they were older or something) on my arc-8's when spring comes or something... i'm not interested in starting a new set just to play with.

but they're a great option to drive to/from track and at the same time have good amount of grip.

your dog doesn't have to sit between track equipment neither. haha

roastbeef · 11-16-2018, 01:47 PM

i'm a lot less stressed about getting home when i bring a set with me. the rack is super quick its not a big deal at all.

StripclubDJ · 11-16-2018, 03:10 PM

Are the cup 2 grip levels comparable to a nt01 .... orrrrr?

Is that all you run slicer ?

I have never ran NT01 so I can't directly compare. Cup2 grip is solid on the first few heat cycles but tapers off to around 80% beyond that. They last a long time if you can manage the outer edge wear with camber. I have used them primarily because I got away from having two sets of wheels and tires since I can't transport 4 wheels due to my 1/2 cage. Cup2 is a fantastic street tire given it's track capability.

I heard good things about the A052 so I decided to throw a set on my car to test. Plus I like to gain fitment knowledge to help with customer wheel spec recommendations. I wanted to find out how the A052 compared to Cup2 in same size.

M3 Number 86 · 11-16-2018, 05:56 PM

A052 seems like a great tire according to everyone running them.

Anyone have a used set of oem rear track pads they're willing to sell to me?

About 5mm on the rears. 50$ ? 10$ / mm

I'll be at MSR Cresson tomorrow and can bring them if that works for you?
