Michelin Pilot Sport Cup

[JBliss]

Hi all

What sort of price is everyone paying for the Michelin Cups?

I found the cheapest was Tyreleader at £748.76 for all 4 in standard sizes..Anywhere better than that?

That's quite a big discount! Just need to go burn through my 888's!

Simon,

Do these look like the right ones. I remember you saying about European versions being the wrong compound.

Are these tyres relatively quiet. I have original Corsas and have heard 888 are really noisy. I was thinking AO48's but they seem really expensive.

If these are correct ill order a set

Thanks
Andrew

Well to be honest I do not know , Protyre are the UK Michelin Motorsport importer and when I approached them last year they told me the cheaper cups were EU spec and not UK spec . Not sure what the difference is . If people want me too I will approach Protyre on Monday and see what there price is . . I'm trying too get a spare set of cups too put on my spare wheels so people can try them at out track day .

Simon,

I am keen for a set and £750 seems to be good value, but keen to get the right ones. Pleas can you see what can be done with Protyre. I would get Protyre to fit mine anyway.

Thanks
Andrew

You can call them yourselves!!!
Found protyre very helpful when I replaced mine, able to match the last group buy, but £750 is a good price although mine included fitting.

Bought a set of these from Tyreleader yesterday night. £710.56 including delivery. Seemed like a good deal.

Thanks for the tip off.

Andrew

Are these UK spec?? I always smell a rat when I hear UK spec, would find it hard to believe they would make two different low volume tyres. The cynic in me would say it could be Protyre's way of stopping people from buying elsewhere

From the invoice it looks like they are shipping from Germany so may indeed be EU spec but at that price I don't care!
Like you say they will most likely be exactly the same tyre compound as the UK ones and thinking about it I'm fairly sure they would need to match or could they legally sell them in the UK?
The company I work for spends a lot of money getting EU compliant markings for our products so it wouldn't make sense to split this out into separate regions for UK and rest of EU?
Only one way to find out and that will be on track ASAP!!

[Hollowpockets]

The tyres I bought from protyre last April shipped directly from Germany.

Surely a cup tyre is a cup tyre? They can't make a different spec for the UK ? Unless it's down to our shoddy Tarmac over here !
