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.
