On the side wall what exactly does 'Service Course' mean?

I got a pair from Rutland cycling £47 bargain , although they were just the grey/black version, rather than the coloured ones, but still to put them on the bike, lots of posters on here rate them, give them a go see if they are as good as some people say. just wondered what 'Service course' meant?

I think it's something to do with Michelin making a song and dance about the fact that the tyres were made for pro racing teams and the public at the same time, with no grace period for the pro teams before the public got them.
Or something...

Hmm, sounds plausable <rubs chin> any more likely suggestions?

For professional cycling teams, the service course is part office, part warehouse, part bike shop, and part garage. Whether it’s a corrugated warehouse in Flanders or a stonework barn in Tuscany, a team’s service course serves as its home base as riders and staff participate in an increasingly international and nomadic sport.

I think it means they are 'race tyres'. Service course being French. Of course.
They are a race apart.
Good tyres though and felt comfortable in the very wet last Saturday morning. And it was a coarse course too.

What I was going to say. Means roughly 'race use'.

Thank you JTM for the sensible answer, and to everyone else for the slightly dodgy doggerel!
