i got a price on the michellin pilot sport 2, £304 each

Jesus 'kin wept! Hmmm, since its regarding tyres, I suppose the phrase "reassuringly expensive" is appropriate [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

304 is a little bit too much, I would say.
Yes Bushy, RF means reinforced, same as XL or EL (Extra Load).

Michelin PS2 for 330,- EUR in germany, sounds better, doesn't it?

And there IS a Yokohama 265/30 YR 19 AVS SPORT 93Y EL (no AML) too.

Hey Jan, would you say the Michelin was a better tyre than the Yoko, say for combined road driving and trackday use?

I am now utterly confused. [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

And as I now have three illegal tyres I might have to get 18" one now cos the Sportec still haven't turned up [img]images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

What do I pick?

[Jan]

Andiroo,
I really don't know. Well, the yoko is rather old, the michelin PS2 is brand new, it SHOULD be better. But I have never driven anything else than my stock PZeros on RS4, so what can I say? [img]images/graemlins/spineyes.gif[/img]

Thorney,
I'm not shure if I have understood. What's the problem? [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
