Hi all,

I'm having a clearout of some rubber, detailed better on the add in the classifieds, as my next track car is rolling on 18's not 19's..

Any of you track attack PH'ers want some spares..? or some winter rubber to float around on..?

Buyer collects / cash only.. 10 minutes from Silverstone biggrin

Well you might as well stock up...! while they're going..! or have a spare Fr/Rr to take with you in case you destroy one..!

I have 2 off Porsche boots, so yes Cup+ those pictures, the rest are CSL fitment ones..
I'm on 18's next year... baldilocks slicks.. wink assuming its dry... of course..!
The road 265 rears, took me ages to get hold of back in the summer, now i dont have a car to put them on..!
I have an offer in already for a pair of the road rears, so have 1 left of those..

All the rest are still available..

Hi Shimmy... no, they are 2 off 235*35*19 N0 87Y Porsche Cups.. If you want some spares..!

All the rest are CSL fitment with the kerb protector lip on the sidewall...

Hi Shimmy... have to disagree with you there matey.. they are definately 235*35*19 N0 cup+.. its std fitment for the front end on a GT3/RS...

The E90/92's run 245*40*19's front cup+ boots tho'..

been wrong before i have and can just about live with being wrong again cry

BUt i was under the pimpression that Cup+ tyres only came in 4 sizes for the Rs and E92M3

I thought the CUp NO were just Porsche oked Cups witht he Cup pattern and not Cup+ pattern. Really surprised the ones in the photos are 235x19

If it makes them rarer, and hence more valuable... I can put the price up for you..!
Can't recall where I sourced them from now.. but they do have the + pattern ie wider valleys and the extra groove near the shoulder, and no kerb protector.. and they do grip well tho' i tried them a couple of times..! agreed they are not listed on the Mich table of fitments..

Do you want any of the CSL cups...?

He's right on the size - I have a couple of pairs of those - one set has done 200 miles on the road and another pair is brand new.

They are for the front of a 997 - same load ratings etc. and I don't know about the compound but they have the + pattern. They don't have the rim protector.

I need to shift some of mine too - mail me if interested. Postage is no problem to mainland uk.

I also have a collection of part worn proper cup rears that I am happy to part with. I collected all these expecting the car to be heavier on tyres than it has been and I have not done as many track days this year as I normally do! I have also now decided not to track my car again.

I could be interested in a set of decent worn CSL rears. I have a load of fronts but only a pair of rears...

Nords, the pair of road rears are sold and gone..
But i do have 1 on its own, bit of kerb protector damage but 7mm stock on it..?

Or I have 1 Cup rear.. 2.5-3mm on it ..?

I have a few part worn rears. About 3mm tread I think - I can measure properly if needs be. I would be after close to £100 a tyre for the better ones and £60 for the worse ones.
