[QUOTE="drvette, post: 179835, member: 1187"] I have a 2017 GS with those infamous Michelin CUP2's. I have had no issues in the rain or the cold but you just need to be very careful. Believe it or not they actually perform very well in the rain. Just a note ... I left my home one afternoon and the temp was approx 5C. I got out in the center if an intersection to make a left hand turn, got a break and got on the gas to make the turn. My back end slide out from under me because the tires were still cold. Like someone else stated earlier, give the tires a chance to warm up before getting on the pedal too aggressively. Otherwise I have had no issues with cracking at storage temps of -15C. Next year I will purchase another Michelin but not CUP2's. [/QUOTE]
