You know what they say about opinions. I'll believe mine and you can believe yours. It just seems there are more opinions about getting a more suitable tire for the street which is my whole point. I drive in real rain in Louisiana and the tire sucks compared to the Sport and 4s.“Have I driven it in rain?” Yes I have. On my R in pouring rain through LA traffic. Didn’t put a foot wrong. Drove amazing. Put it in weather mode and it was great.
“You don't give a damn about how soft or hard the tire is, it won't evacuate water like a Pilot Sport or Sport 4s:”
That’s your opinion, not fact. It was meant to be on the street and drive through rain because it was meant for the trade off of giving better street performance because it doesn’t have the track only focus of the R model.
“It's a lousy tire for the everyday driving which is why people are looking for alternatives:”
that’s opinion. Just because people do it does not make it a fact or right. Everyone went around with fidget spinners and playing Pokémon Go, that does not make it better or the right thing to do:
“Yes it's harder so it will last another 2K miles or whatever and it won't heat cycle itself to death. The point is that no matter what it still is not a good street tire period.”
The “period” is only for your opinion. For you, you want another tire. Your car, put flowers on it for all I care, but it’s your opinion, not fact.
I actually interview Ford, the engineers, and the test drivers and they all disagree with you and they disagree with putting different tires in the car and the same size tire of a different model does not mean it is the exactly the same, in many cases your making your car slower.
imo I love the Cup 2, and that’s the R compound different tire cups. Love them to death, fine if you get caught or have to drive in the rain and I’m lots of life out of them. But again my opinion.
