Fantastic pics and info BS1, and can you give us a bit of your personal impressions on the Pirelli and Michelin differences if any? Always felt Bibendum belted racing auto balloons were faster than the Pirelli Pneumatically pumped up rubber pizza rollers!!

I agree, the Pirellis we thought were great after the Continentals, but after a while we saw that they dropped off precipitously, the Contis, although slower, were very consistent, the Michelins transcends both, they are very fast out of the box, and maintain some decent traction all the way until you hit cords. That's if cost is no object, they are about $3K per set.
