Alternatives to cup tyres .
Does anyone have any experience of non cup tyres which are recommended and how are the ride and handling effected please ?
Thanks as always for your time .

we use DZ03G on the E36m3 but that is 1150kg (300kg lighter). but the tyres are very good. I suspect that DZ03G are best option as Kuhmo are hard to get hold of and Nangkangs performance and longevity are a bit of an unknown still at that sort of weight car

billy has a new set of 265 DZo3g now so his feeedback will be critical.

As other have mentioned Michelin SS is the best tyre for the road. On track, Cups are great but getting harder to find each day, I will be switching to Trofeo R for my next set.

Another vote for the super sport here. I've done 10,000 miles on mine now being regularly somewhat tail-happy as well as a full day being the quickest car with number plates at Oulton Park and there's still 5-6mm left on them. Amazing tyres.

Michelin ss are definitely the default choice. Goodyear eagle f1 3's asymmetric have been getting pretty good reviews. If on par with the ss on performance, then it could prove to be an alternative.

Latest or last, can't remember which, EVO mag reports that Super Sports are being phased out and will be replaced by the Pilot Sport 4.

I think the Super Sport is being superseded by the Pilot Sport 4 this year in 17" and 18" with bigger sizes due to stop next year.

Got Eagle F1's on mine, no complaints.

[nw99]

Off to get some Michelin SS next week

Good choice!

I was commenting to my friend yesterday after driving along the Col De Turini, that the Super Sports work really well on the CSL.
