As i seem to always be on the look out for a good deal, I found and purchased the following tires.  From what I have read, they seem to be fairly decent.  Looking to see what the consensus is on them.  As a note, they will not be used on the Porsche, but on my MINI Cooper S.  Anyway I should be getting them tomorrow and will be installing them when the weather gets better.  Just wondering if anyone has used these before.  I will give a review when I get some miles on them and post up a picture when I get them inside the house tomorrow.

I wonder who actually makes it for Momo?

Is this a popular Canadian website?  I ask because I am very skeptical of a website that puts the $ sign at the end of the numbers.

Momo mentions tires on their U.S. website as well.

It's not a popular site.  More local to me than national.  It does work the same as TireRack though.  The thing I like is that I don't have to pay duty or shipping.  They are coming from Montreal which is 2 hours away from me, so if I had time I could have gone and picked them up myself.

Mike... another site to try that’s local to you (in Greeley) is www.walltowalltires.com   A very basic website but prices are usually competitive and you can pick up your purchase.  It’s just a warehouse full of tires in the south end of Ottawa

Interesting. Momo has the announcement that they're targeting North America up on their website but no one in the US seems to stock them at the moment.

What's interesting is that Momo is offering a 45,000 mi warranty on the Outrun M3. My MS3's BFG Sport Comp 2's (340 TW) lasted just over 20,000 mi and the Momo's are a 280 TW, though Tire Rack purports the BFG's to be stickier.

I'd like to find a vendor that has them in the US because I'd give them a go as I hit the wear bars on the MS3 last fall. Car is garaged now for winter before someone gives me a lecture.

@ggarrard:  

I have looked at WalltoWall tires.  A friend of mine buys from them.  They just don't seem to come to mind when I am shopping for new tires.

And to reply to John Welsh, who wrote:

That's how they do it in Quebec....  they will also denote cents with a comma instead of a decimal point.

The Momo Toprun 430 sounds like a Chinese knockoff already.

Another option I've used a few times now is PMCtire.com also out of Quebec with free shipping throughout Canada.

I'll take a look at those other site too, it's time for some new track rubber, hopefully I can beat PMC's $179 CAD on Hankook RS-4 in a 225/50R16

When I got home I had a present.

The tires were delivered.  So until the spring I put them in the garage.   They look pretty good,  it makes me want the snow to leave faster here so that I can try them and give a review of what I think.

In reply to TurnerX19 :

I just checked and it does say that the tires are made in Italy.  Only need to wait now.

Mono started with a partnership with Jinyu tires and in 2016 announced they were setting up European production with an unnamed partner.
