I'm getting a friend of a friend at kwikfit to fit them (don't laugh, he'll do a good job for me...) - really want them balanced perfectly obviously so will make sure to look after him rather than have someone who's not careful do it slapdash like.

FYI - super sport's are MEGA in the wet. Not had chance to actually use them with real aggression yet as the weather has been pants, but the few hundred miles I've done since fitting these have been great - all in the rain. Really pleased with them, especially for a summer/sport tyre. :)

I had vreidstein sessantas on when I bought the car, a very impressive cheaper tyre. Went round bedford for a hard day and they did very well but they did have a limit. Noisy too, a little embarrassing at times.

I have since gone to michelin PS2 and as usual the Michelin give confidence beyond other tyres and dont squeal like billio at every mini roundabout.

I had Super sports on my old 535d bimmer and they lasted 24000 miles on the front and 14000 on the rear (with some wheelspins). Very impressed, not for the perfomance, but the durability.

had Michelin Pilot Super Sports fitted on the weekend and 1st impressions are very good. Much better than when I had the Goodyears 1st fitted last year. The car is on rails haha!

Other than getting some nasty snap oversteer and very nearly writing the car off I'm loving the PSS's!

(my own fault, too hot coming onto a roundabout, understeered, put half a turn of steering in and then let off the throttle.... not the smartest combination of imputs i've decided!)
