Is it new or I'm out of date? Anyway, it's called Pilot Sport Cup:



$199 a pop for 205/50-15.....

 

Michelin... Competition Tire..... LOL

 

anyone seen the new Kumho MX.....i guess they are along the lines of Yok AVSi's and Falken Azenis....

 

whats so funny about that??

 

Agree. I wouldn't laugh about Michelin either as they were the tire supplier for formula at one time.

 

Were .. and now are again!

Williams-BMW, at least....

 

Ralf Schumacher (Williams-BMW) just won the GP of Malaysia on Michelins

 

Are they R compound? What is the treadwear rating on those?

Yeah, well, bully for Ralfy. He can afford the Michelin race rubber, me - I almost choked on the price 2 bills/shoe; **** that.

Yes, michelin can make a performance tire (tyre). $200 a piece though. I like my Kumhos

 

 

michelin and dunlop are my favorite tires... yokohama and kumho's are overated imo

 

I've only driven on one Michy that I liked.. that old MXXX3 or whatever the E36 M3's came with in 95-9whenever. Every single other michy tire I've driven on has sucked *** IMO. Kumho street tires also suck IMO, but they be cheap. Yoko AVSi's as street tires rocked. I think the best street tires are Bridgestones and have been for years (RE71, RE730, RE010, S01, S02, S03). The Pirelli P700Z is also a nice street tire for the price and the P-zero is ok (not that great IMO). Yoko's R compound tire is also the best beginner r compound IMO, Kumho's R compound is also very nice. No dunlop r compound and no michy r compound (until now) to compare against.. personally, I don't care that much for dunlop street tires either althought the sport8000 was a nice tire.

 

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

no thanks!

 

Yoko AVSi's were great cheap tires....but the Falken Azenis rock them hard. I've had two sets of AVSi's and driven a couple other cars with them and the Azenis on my car are just a huge improvement to the AVSi's.....

 

If it didn't cost so much, I wouldn't mind giving it a try as I'm in the market of R tires anyway. But $199 is just way too much. I think I would stick with my originally choice: Kumho V700.

 

They're cheaper than Pirelli P-Zero Competitions....but still waay to expensive.

How come nobody likes Toyo RA-1's?

 

Exactly. I would try them as well if they were less $$.. but you can get hoosiers for less.

 

We run RA-1's on our IT cars.. in the rain. (ok ok and in the dry sometimes)

 

how about using rally car tarmac tyres

 

Bet those ain't cheap, either!

 

I've been running the Kumho V700 competition tire for a week now...absolutely amazing. Worlds apart from the stock tires, which were very good to begin with. Get them and you won't be dissapointed.

 

not cheap, but it is less expensive at 150ea

 

What are PZero Competitions? Any relation to the PZero Corsas that were advertised in Grassroots Motorsports this month? The ad had a URL listed that says absolutely nothing about the tyres.

You can see a picture of the PZero Corsas here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=65022
