great tyres too, the road legal race version of the tyre on my Strad....

They are good prices,what are the tyres like compared to cups.

The M3 GTS prototype uses them.
BMW M engineer said that they have to use them because the cups don't meet some environmental regulation (and it would be good to stock cups because they won't be produced in the near future - what shimmy has done basically).

Que panic Cup buying outbreak!:hahaha:

It will be some new EU legislation on energy usage I bet.

The energy consumed to produce a Cup Tyre verses life (mile usage) will be horrific.

Still, not as if we don't already pay enough for them. I wouldn't panic just yet.
:thumbs:

Well I know it since November and didn't panic yet.

We will manage... I think :thumbs:

not true, my advice direct from Michelin says they will for a few years yet :thumbs:

Well only because you make it worth while for them Shim.

Michelin do say i am their best customer :thumbs:

Didn't think the fronts were left and right ?

for that price who cares, just dont use them in the rain :thumbs:

So whos brought a set? Be interesting to see how they perform. Cheap enough to give em a go and throw.

I had a set off them for the M3 last year good value for the money but they are old stock and the rubber's a bit hard not quite as grippy as a cup and they only had one side,so your running two tyres the wrong way

front available in left and right, rears only one hand
