You talking about contisport 5p? Cause those suck terribly for traction. Sport cups would be much better traction wise but longevity would be lower

P5's suck for traction? Not from what I've read.

Here goes this guy again....

Are you asking for an opinion on who has "driven with both and can compare", or are you just looking for an argument?

The Cup 2 is going to have MUCH more traction than the P5. You're comparing an R-compound track tire to a street tire. What kind of answers did you think you were going to get.

You can read what ever you want in a mag review but I'm telling you I have them and they suck for traction from dead stop now track duty no idea haven't taken my car to the track but for spirited driving not a fan.

Haha. The stock 5Ps were awful! PSS can smoke them in ANY measurement, including tread life. PSC2s would probably be monster tires by comparison but not last as long.

OP - Are you on Cup 2 now? If yes, what do you think of them and how do they compare to what you were running before?

He's right. The 5p are pretty bad for traction on these cars. I had them as stock on the black series and really did not like them. Made the car underperform although making the car slide around was total child's play. Assuming you want grip then go a different direction. I have p zeros now and couldn't be happier

Just ignore the OP. He just makes a lot of nonsensical noise and doesn't listen.

Oh.....

Jason once again proves that he knows how to use the search function. How smart of him. Maybe your pompous *** should be banned? All you basically do is troll and contribute nothing but "oh, you should have searched the forum," Mr. Forum Inspector. Pardon me if I am mistaken, but I thought this was all about sharing one's knowledge with those of us who have less. Dude, if you have nothing useful to donate to the forum other than your negativity than go "ban" yourself.

P.S. Thanks for finding all my posts. I wouldn't have been able to without you. Don't bother "searching" for a reply; it's way above you.

Well stop asking stupid questions, or at least make an effort to search and read the forum before demonstrating your stupidity again

So now you are Mr. Inspector as well. You have the power to decide whether one's question is stupid or not. Nice! Who gave you that judgemental ability? Jason? Maybe you two should create your own forum? Accept only those who have no "stupid questions." I have a better idea. How about you and Jason spend more time being benefactors to the forum instead of hangmen?
PS - Don't bother replying. I just ate and I'd like to keep my food in my stomach. If you see Jason give him a kiss from me.

I was very helpful in this thread. I gave you the answer AND showed you how I found it.

Didn't even get a thank you. Indication that you're likely an inconsiderate and selfish person who expects others to do everything for you. Then, when they don't, you throw a hissy fit like you have here...
