Last year the Michilin tire proved to be quite fast and durable, which caused United Autosports to switch from Dunlop to Michelin (and they promptly won a few races).
It was especially the pace of the Panis-Barthez car that inspired them to make the switch.

Now, Dunlop has introduced a new spec, and it seems to be auite performant, and hop: Panis-Barthez now switches from Michelin to Dunlop.

Yes. A tyre war. Isn't it lovely?
