You had me disturbing the neighbours with laughter Peter ~ another one of your classics!!

Yes ~ today it's only a brand and is owned & used differently in different parts of the world.

Good Year got sued by Michelin for copying one of the Pilot Sports ~ 2 IIRC. There was a huge settlement out of court so they are probably hurting still. I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport 4's on my Benz. Wonderful tyre.
