I have a 24 G82 comp xdrive. Looking for the best tire for track days. I only can find cup2 and r888r. Am I missing something? Ca anybody recommend one over the other? Looking to order in preparation for the season.

What's your criteria for choosing a track worthy set? Cup 2's check a lot of boxes.

I prefer Goodyear F1 Eagle Supercar 3r, Bridgestone Potenza Race and Pirelli Trofeo R over Cup 2s. Stiffer sidewalls and better feedback and are all designed for the best lap time and not longevity. Cup 2s probably last longer but will lack performance as a result. So many good track tires to choose from through.
