In the off chance someone could help (especially the kind Michelin chap earlier in the thread!!)..

if anyone has a cup2 and a supersport lying around could you possibly let me know how much more square the shoulder of the cup2 is compared to the supersport please....?

cheers

I can photograph a Cup 2 when I get home tonight if that helps?

I have got supersports coming off my GT3 tomorrow morning and Cup2 going on. Could try and get a side by side picture?

That would be pretty much exactly what I would need if you could actually and get a comparison between the inside rear tyre shoulders. Would be very much appreciated indeed.

Sidicks, tks again but no worries about getting the pic from your car now. cheers.

[DT398]

PM me to explain exactly what you mean.

Trying to decide if I can put Cup2s (991 gt3 rear tyre is the exact same size) on another car currently on supersports where the tyre has ground into the wheel arch lining slightly when at Spa (i think). OEM tyres are Pirellis with a fairly rounded shoulder already compared to the supersport.

Hi DT398, I believe this is your 997GT3RS and rear Cup2 being fitted at WIM on Saturday morning. I had my AM V12V in at the same time as you.

[DT398]

Yep, that was me! Good to meet you.

Anyone know where I can get hold of some 295/30/18 Cup 2's for the rear of a 996 GT3? Nobody appears to have any in stock!

non anywhere I've been trying for weeks...

Any good? - https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/michelin/pi...

I needed a set over a month ago - event tyres were showing none online so I phoned them up. The nice chap on the phone said they's order a set from source, arrived within two weeks...

[Magic919]

Damn! Might be worth getting on the 'phone to Blackboots, Camskill, Micheldever, Event etc

[911p]

Brilliant, I'll give Event a call if I have problems with Tyre Leader.

Cheers
