When we were told that the rears were available, we began making calls to people who have been waiting for over a year. However, many reported that their customers went to the 17" conversion, hoping to avoid this issue ever again.
The fronts have been in the States about 6 weeks, but the rears just landed in North Carolina a few days ago. They will ship on Monday for a Weds/Thursday delivery.
I will be getting at least 50 rears and have a bunch of fronts. Here's your chance!
Either call 800-628-4040, or mail me at Dave at Motorace.com
Only the A59/M59 is being produced in our sizes. I have spoken directly with Michelin on the telephone and they confirmed that our tire will continue to be produced, and that there are no plans to upgrade to a modern tire. I told them that if they were to produce the same size for the Macadam 90 or the likes that Paso and 851 Strada owners would be very happy.
Is anyone in the Fort Worth area interested in going in on an order for these tires? I called and they do have them in stock. MSRP is $150/$189 with about $30 for shipping. They said they could work some on the price if more than a pair were being ordered.
