I am just looking pictures and I wonder when was the last time when we had so many cars with Pirelli tyres, especially 4wd cars. Plangi, Lukjanuk, Svilis, Butvilas, Consani, Katjo, Koltun, Tlustak, Vorobjovs, Costenardo, Tushkanova, Kabacinski, etc.? Basically only new Peugeots and Opel were using Michelin (some Peugeots were also with Pirelli, like Volver, Ogryzek).

I think one of the reasons is that Pirelli got very good sales work and tactics in the Baltic area. Also price / tyre are lower and that interests many privateers. And of course Pirelli IS competitive tyre in the ice/snow events.

I would like to note, that all juniors (so including Opels) must use Michelin tyres.

For me it is easy - Pirelli sell you without problems, what you want. They are same competitive as Michelin, but price is 1/3 lower...
