Default Tire

Need some help finding a Michelin Pilot Sport 285/30 ZR 18. Talked to Michelin and they said these were original equipment, when I bought the car 2 new tires went on the back in April????. Just got a nail in one and cannot find a replacement anywhere, any idea's really don't want to replace all 4.

Thx
Burkey

It is patched and holding but I am signed up for DE at Mosport next weekend, not too comfortable with a patched tire.

I've got a brand new set of (4) Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires for your 993 TT for sale.

They would be great for your DE event at Mosport.

Let me know as I really want to sell these, since I changed my track car to a GT3
My email is derekrm@sympatico.ca

PS I would agree not to run on a repaired tire.

Zookie totally agree, I figure I can burn through these quick in a couple of track days for the price of one tire
