Why are you selling the tires. I'm looking at buying the same tires or Toyo RA-1's. Are you selling any wheels also. Thanks.

Because I installed Michelin Pilot Sport Cups as my daily tires.

The Toyo RA-1 is not available on the GT3 sizes.

I'm going to sell my BBS 3 pieces magnesium center wheels. I paid 5 grands for them about 1 1/2 month ago. I ordered them directly from BBS NA. I'm willing to be flexible with the price.

I want to order the Manthey Motors BBS Magnesium 1 piece wheels which are lighter. They run for 6800 euros, but they are the ones I really want.

I read your header wrong. I didn't realize (until I read it again), that your selling MPS and not MPSC's. I've been contemplating using the MPSC as my daily driver as well as track tire. I wouldn't have to have two sets of wheels. What type of mileage do you think you'll get. I do drive my 996 almost every day. I now have Goodyear F1 GS D3 which are quiet, handle great and are awesome in the wet. You can hit a big puddle and it's like it wasn't even there. No hydroplanning at all. I'm sure I would miss that with the MPSC's or the RA-1's.

I got 8000 miles on the first set. Second set around 6000 miles and they still have life left. That was on my Boxster S.

I'm watching my 996 rear ones. I think I can still get 8000 on the front ones, but the rear ones seem to be gone before that. Right now my car has 3500 miles.

The MPSC's are terrible in the rain.
