Glad you made a cup car purchase.

Not as fast as Michelins. but a better deal at $1500 or $100 per set.

I hope every other club racer buys them before Sebring!

You should contact all your PRC racers that run those sizes along with Mooty, Carlooz, etc. and buy them up before they're gone. $1,200. is an incredible deal and Troy just told me some shop ordered 30 sets today....

As for the Michelin comparison I thinks it's subjective. The Patron cup results from 08' on Michelins compared to 09' on these tires are almost identical on some tracks, a seconds behind on others. The Yokes provided a little faster lap times at Miller and Laguna which is a 45 min. race, but a seconds slower at Mosport adn Road Atlanta. I asked Bobby Faieta, the 07'-09' champion what he thought and he too prefers the feel of the Michelins, but he said he was just as fast on the Yokes. Perhaps the pros can feel a difference, I can't. YMMV....

This isn't just a group buy. The Yokohama's are on sale with Trackside Performance, the US distributor for race Yoko's. Anyone can buy them or put a group together. Troy at Trackside priced them at $1,500. per set individually, and $1,200 if you're buying several sets. These are the Patron Cups that sold for $2,200 to the IMSA cup racers.

Call Troy at (949) 589-5394

Not surprised ... $1200 a set is a screaming deal for slicks
