Goodyear taking on Michelin now?

SteveChester · 06-24-2019, 02:47 PM

Just saw this ad pop up on my Instagram - are these new? Are they trying to take on the Pilot Cup and Sport range?

The GY SuperSport range was launched recently and is being marketed as an ultra high performance road tyre.

GY does not yet have a full range of sizes, but the MP4S is so good that I have no need to switch.

I'm probably still going to buy a set of 4s tyres shortly when my rears get down to the limit

You'll be amazed how much rear grip your M4 will have after fitting these, especially in the wet. I stuck 2 on the back of my M3 and they made a significant difference to traction.

Yeh the R and RS are in fairly poor sizes tbh, hopefully more come with time!

Look forward to it! ( on normal pilot super sports at the moment ).

Yep, the 4S have much better grip and traction compared to the Super Sports, especially in the wet.
