Michelin TBs?

[Fishcop]

Anyone know if Michelin TBs are available in Oz, and any idea what sort of coin? I know they're dear!

[Andrew B]

Buy them US and ship them air mail. I reckon they'll be cheaper if you really want them.

Go on do the exercise !

i've seen 2 cars running them in the last fortnight. i kinda get the look but damn those sidewalls are huge.

terry has them on his ST. he might be able to comment on availability and how they drive.

[Fishcop]

It's THE look Ryan... Anyway, you've been trend-setting too long.

Found 'em in Oz here http://www.europeantechnique.com.au/...es/tb%2015.htm @ $2200, which isn't hugely more expensive than R compound stuff...

Terry, do you have an opinion?

[reedminor]

They certainly look the business...

[alexwebster]

wonder what they are like compared to an R on the track?!

We bought ours on the ST from Trevor at European technique. We really only bought them as a correct period look for the car. We did however drive some hot laps at Calder in damp slippery conditions and they held on like the proverbial and felt great. I know someone who has used them in tarmac rallys and said when pushed in dry hot conditions they quickly disappear.

Thanks Dave

[Fishcop]

Thanks heaps Dave. I'm looking for 'period correct look' over performance but it's nice to know I can trust them on a sunday morning blast...

[Fishcop]

Mmmm, TBs AND Minilites....
