We all know how important our tyres are. These Michelins are a good size for my car. Has anyone any experience with these as a circuit tyre . As they are very expensive I don't want to make a mistake and find they are not as expected. Any advice much appreciated.

I can remember using TB15's back in the 80's, so unless the design/carcass has changed significantly then they are based on very old technology.

The TB15 was a tarmac rally tyre *years* ago, and is now back in production in their classic range. I'd imagine it's a heady combination of being too soft, too heavy and too slow to be any use on a circuit.
