MPSC price
I'm sick of Michelin prices here.
A complete set MPSC for a GT3 would be $ ~2.2K
Where do you buy your tires?
Anyone getting them online?
Might as well order a bunch. Would love to give the local importer the middle finger next time he gives me a stupid price.

They are about 1300 GBP in the UK. Can get Toyo 888s for about 700. Are the MPSCs really 600 quid better?
Best way to stick your finger up at the importer is to stop buying them!

No idea if they are better but here they are the gold standard for the track guys.
Not sure why a french tire is so costly.
We can get them for 1400CDN for all 4 in Canada and about 1200USD via Tirerack.

Also, my set cost 1100gbp fitted at BHGP a coupla weeks ago, they told me they could do this price for a good while

I am actually kinda excited though. I want MS to do well and it looks like if he can pull off another race like the german gp while renault is having issues the chamionship might be up for grabs.

Which is about £1070, or £130 ($240) LESS than the price of a set for a 996 GT3.
The price differentials between the US and the UK really p*ss me off
