Got this the other day from a local list. I make no promises about it's
veracity, but you never know.

Subject: [nc-ax] FW: [M3] G-Force R1 tire life
I don't know if this is true, but I thought it was interesting enough to
share with the autocross list. This was posted to the BMW club racing
list
by a gentleman that works at Korman.

Subject: Re: [M3] G-Force R1 tire life
According to an acquaintance that works for Michelin in S.C., there is a
simple explanation for everyone's frustration and varying results with
the
G-Force. You're dealing with more than one tire. The first ones (sorry,
no
idea if it was the first month, first 3 months, etc) off the line
suffered
from vulcanizing problems. The tires weren't "bad" per se, but the useful
life
was diminished quite a bit. I'm quite sure these are all gone by now.
Later
runs saw this problem resolved. The G-Force is currently undergoing a
redesign to address some of these issues that have arisen, you might see
something new this spring, then again they may arrive "quietly". This
exhausts my second hand knowledge of the subject, I need no e-mails or
calls
from Michelin if possible...
