Anybody still using Michelin Pilot Cup tyres?

MisterCorn · 30-05-2017, 02:31 PM

I have decided to stick with the MPSS tyres for the road as I'm less concerned about driving with a load of water on the road, so I have removed by wheels with a set of these fitted. I also have a new set of stickered tyres which I probably won't ever use. I just wondered if anybody was still using them and interested? Date codes are 2112 on the rears and 1911 on the fronts, they have been kept in my store room for the last couple of years. I have looked online to see what the current list price is for these but could only find rears.

If I had a low mileage Cecil I'd buy these and store them, these will be worth £1000s in the future as the only OeM part you can't replicate,

Thanks for the feedback. I am really struggling to come up with a good price for them. I have had comments about concerns with the age which I completely understand, so they should be priced as secondhand effectively. Just today I changed the tyres on another car as they were close to 11 years old! I know that rarity is a factor and if you can't buy things the value can only go one way. They would have been around £900 when new. If somebody is buying them for a garage queen it doesn't matter so much with the age, less use to you lot though

I might and see what price others sell for when they come up for sale. I don't want to give them away.

I bought a second hand one recently to match an old one that had worn on the inside edge (new bearing was required). I have them just as a track set although have not been on track in the CSL for a couple of years. I am hoping to return to the Nordschleife this year and finish the tyres off and move to MPSS like everyone else.

I think I paid about £50 although it was a single one so worth less than a set or pair.
