Cup tyres for 996 GT3 RS

[stefan1]

Quick question - I am having trouble locating a set of rear Cup tyres (the original version) for my 996 RS. It is being suggested by my usual supplier that these are no longer in production and I should switch to Cups 2 (which are in stock for the rears, but on back order for the fronts - which does not help me much).

I have good life left in the front Cup tyres, so would love to find one set of rears - any suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers

Try Tyreleader and mytyres

only problem with tyreleader is the weight rating on the cups. they are 94 not 98 for the rears. depends if you care about that or not.

I saw some for sale on ebay.de new:

item number is: 281699014028

I speak German and have friends over there who you can deliver to and then bring back if that helps? I might be going over there in a few weeks too.

I have got a contact on 911UK too that might have some for sale as he bought 4 rears and 2 fronts new recently as a job lot.

drop me a mail if you need any more help. NW
