We have a lot of problems during the winter, to ship racing motorcycle tyres in cold reagions. They can get broken ;((
So we can't ship from now on anymore by temperatures below 5°C / 41°F
But if you realy need the tyres during winter time and you take the risc, we can pack them safe in a box what cost us +5,00 € / box and we have to charge you.
