What's the deal on mytyres at the moment then, 2 Cups listed on there in 235/35/19 size, one is N1 and one 'normal' yet £30 difference in price!?

Stand down. Tyre Shop called back to say its the Cup+ and the site needs changing. (Said he didnt know there was a difference until I asked him to check)

Full cups coming out at £1324 from them. He said Michelin had confirmed they were stopping making them soon though.

Price for Super Sports from him was £1000 delivered.

That might have been complete bollox...but it came up when he mentioned the S/Sports. Said if I needed to source a single or 2 tyres in the future it might be difficult as they wont be in production soon. Thus more sensible to go with S/S. feck knows how they compare to cups though

You can just tell that they know what they are talking about when it comes to Cup tyres and the differences between them and Cup+/PS2, etc...

BTW, my price of £355 for a full fat Cup 265/35/18 was including VAT and delivered. I suspect matey's price would be without VAT...

Just to cheer you up mate:

I think that's why Michelin have developed the Super Sport tyre with supposedly 'almost Cup like grip in the dry' and improved wet grip performance over the PS2 tyre.

I want to see if these claims hold up and want to try a set

Now now Rob, don't shoot the messenger. I'm only information sharing but yeah, I know what you mean about the 'knowing' part.
