Where did you get them for for that price? I want Goodies for the C6. I keep lighting up all four wheels at 50/60 MPH with the shitty Dunlops, could just be the 750 odd horses though.

Lol!

I'm going for the goodies too, although I kind of like the pirellis. I would get some more if they were a bit quieter.

Not a fan of the p zeros at all, lost confidence when I had the car sideways on an island. Just think, for £30 extra each corner you could have a tyre like the F1s or Miches. If you don't ever drive the car hard then it doesn't matter, but if you don't ever drive the car hard what the feck have you got it for?

I was spinning up all four at 60 with the Mitch PSS. It's smile inducing but concerning, on the Conti Winters I get nothing, unless it's icy.

Winters are much softer. And when they are new, they have tons of grip. But they wouldn't last you long in the summer...

All four cars in my family are now on Goodyears. :thumbs:

Fourth swapped from Michelins to Goodyears last week. Michelins had only done 10,500 miles and were perfectly decent tread wise, but the sidewalls had perished to the extent they have been sent back to Michelin

That's not really saying much though, is it?

^^none of this is. It's a completely irrelevant observation. You could extrapolate whatever you like.

This is what I will extrapolate: You are seeing those tyres available used because they are coming off crashed cars. Obviously the cars shod in GY are not coming off the road in such great quantities.
