I track RE71R’s (square 265/35/18) and drove to the track in them and they are definitely loud. My street setup is PS4S 245/275 on 437Ms which I love on the street but don’t stack up on the track. I am considering Cup 2’s when the Bridgestone’s wear out but for track use only.

The Cup2 are growing on me I will say. I haven't noticed any increase in road noise compared to PS4 and the comfort is the same. Roads are not stellar in China so a softer sidewall is to prefer. With a high HP RWD the softer sidewall is also aiding with traction so despite the lack of directional stability I think I'll buy Cup 2 again. Also a mighty good looking tire

I am seriously considering the Cup 2 or AD08R. The A052 does not come in my sizes and my favorite Bridgestones RE-11, RE-71R are not available either.

I'm used to driving on the RE-11 which has a very stiff sidewall just like the AR-1. I am thinking if I get a set of Cup 2's it will feel like a bit of a downgrade in driving enjoyment. It is not all about lap times but how communicative the steering feel is. I hate to feel the tires moving around and have serious doubts if the Cup 2 would be the tire for me. Unfortunately the AR-1 is not available in my sizes. Having tried both would you say you prefer the AD08R over the Cup 2?
