We may only be in 2011, but Infront Motor Sports who promote the World Superbike Championship is already on the look out for a tire supplier for the 2013–2015 seasons.
Rumors over the last months or so, have it that current supplier Pirelli, who is entering its eighth season as WSBK’s official one-make tire supplier, may be looking to pull out and may have strung themselves out too much with supplying both Formula 1 and British Superbikes.
We’ve heard rumors that Michelin would like to return to motorsport action, after they were virtually kicked out of MotoGP at the end of 2008, but we could see bids from Bridgestone or even Dunlop.
