The French company will supply one type of slick tyre and one type of rain tyre (19" for the Super Touring cars and 15" for Super Production). <BR> <BR> Mathieu Bonardel of Michelin Competition commented : "We have always supported Touring Car racing and we did not want to miss the opportunity of being involved in the rebirth of the European Championship. Our efforts will be equally divided between the two categories. Because we supply only one type of tyre for the whole season, we have made a few changes to the 19" tyres for the Super Touring cars, in order to find a better compromise for all the tracks and types of traction. For Super Production, we have developed a new 15" tyre based on our Super Touring experience; in 2001 this tyre will be available for Super Production competitors only".<BR> <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
