Michelin Cup Tires

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

I did a search but couldn't find if the Michelin Cup tires came in 17 inch. Also can't find them on Tire Rack's site.

Does the Cup tire come in 17 inch?

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Nevermind. Found 'em.

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

So they don't make 17 inch in Viper sizes. That blows.

You have Kumho's, half the price with comperable performance.

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

only made in 18's for viper sizes

Like Russ said, you will be happy with the Kumho's (Estra 700's). You have to have them shaved for the track, you can run them unshaved on autocross, however, the surface may get chunked.

A hint, the Estras are available in a 3.35 x 17, however, the next size down is either a 2.75 0r 2.85. You can go to the Vito Racer in a 3.15 x 17 for the front. It is a different compound, however, both tires show no roll at all even at low pressure.

"They" as in Michelin or Kuhmo?

Michelin's. Have a rear pair mounted on 98 GTS wheels as yet to be tried out.

I don't see the Michelin Cups in 17 inch Viper sizes at TireRack. But you guys are saying I can get them?

 

[Ray W]

I don't know if they are still available but they do exist.
When I bought mine I can't remember if it was because of inventory reduction or elimination.
