More Tyre Choice For CGT
Hello ,
just a quick one to inform you CGT owners that the new Michelin super-sports are available in Koenigsegg Agera R sizes.
These will go directly on to the Carrera GT . A must have imho . I cant wait , I'll let you know how good they are once I can get some ( very limited at the mo .)
Cheers .

Marc , a friend of mine used them at silverstone last week . It really rained hard , he said they were fantastic . They stayed great when the track dried up .
He says maybe 5 per cent below a cup in the dry but much better in the wet with a longer lasting " sweet spot " in the dry so he was able to do more .
Could you please write your experiences once fitted ?

Thats the kind of reviews I have heard so far about the performance.
For now I just received 2 new rear Corsa's to tide me over as the MPSS are not shipping yet in the US and I will not see the set of 4 until End May. I will say that Mich finally followed up on the PS2 after loosing ground to Pirelli and Bridgestone in the race. .

My understanding is that Michelin will be releasing a Super Sport fitment specifically for Carrera GT (meaning it will be N-Spec).
This will be a game changer for the CGT indeed. It can now get closer to its real potential with these tires.

I've just had a set installed on my CGT and will report back in due course:
I've run the car on slicks and it's staggering the pace it has with the correct rubber.
Another alternative is to run 19" BBS wheels with 265/30 19" and 345/30 19" full blown pilot sport cups.
I'll be trying this set up as well.
