Looking into some rims with N22's on it, i know nothing except for what the seller told me.
Quote "As for the tires, the N22 is the tire that the Subaru world rally team uses for tarmac stages. These tires came on a set of the real Prodrive WRC magnesium wheels that a friend of mine got, but he had no use for the slicks. Google search "michelin N22" and you will find a few distributors in europe and some info, these are not available in the US (and not DOT approved). They have only seen 2 autocrosses and about 100 miles of travel to one of the events, so they have at least 85% tread left. They have never been on the car for anything other than these events. To compare, I would liken these to a Hoosier road race tire, but with better temperature characteristics. They are designed to run in lower temps, so they get warm faster than a typical r-compound (warm=good). "
Anybody know the cost of an 18" N22?
