I might buy a set of stock CS wheels and run cup 2s on them for track days
The tread width of the star spec PSC2 is a fair bit wider than the star spec PSS of the same size.

While the 265/35R19 PS4S is fine with 9.6" of tread width, I find the 285/30R20 PS4S a bit narrow at 9.9". I am considering going with the 295/30R20 instead that has an 11.1" tread width.

Cup2 are bloody expensive for track only tires. They are really meant as dual use tire.
The plan was always to keep the stock cup 2 sizing as I figured this was how the car was designed to maximise performance.

As far as the 4S tyres go, it's a little unclear but my aim is to try and stick to the PSS sizing. The 4S would only really be the daily driving tyre with occasionally twisty bit fun wet or dry.

I could then swap the track wheels directly prior the dry track day and then back to 4S for daily driving.

Hopefully a set of oem CS wheels will become available at a decent price.

I do a lot of motor way driving with heavy rain and the combination of cold and wet as well as standing water makes me a little nervous about the cup 2 as a daily
