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

**alexk** · 31-03-2010, 05:12 PM

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!

M5 Powered · 31-03-2010, 05:36 PM

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.

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

We will manage... I think
