Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tyres
Just to let everyone know. I wrote a letter to Michelin complaining that their selection of tyre sizes for Porsches in the 17 inch size for the new Sport cup tyres was not very good.
I have driven with these tyres on a BMW M3 CSL and they were brilliant if not rather quick wearing.
I received a reply today from the chief. He assures me that they have developed a range of new sizes for the Porsche models. I have the list and it is quite long but for the 15/16 and 17 inch wheels they will be offering
205/50ZR15
225/50ZR15
205/55ZR16
225/50ZR16
245/45ZR16
205/50ZR17
225/45ZR17
255/40ZR17
Michelin also tell me that they will be re-launching the Rally Tyre Range of the 70s and 80s in 15 inch sizes. They will also manufacture the only street legal race tyres for the Carrera 2.7RS and RSR
Ciao,

PS: No there is nothing in this for me.
