Quick one before I go down to the tyre place.
I was thinking of Michelin Pilot Sport - good choice ?
Car had Pirelli's when I got it which I was pleased with, but they only did 9k miles, this set of Pirelli's are crap but have done 16k miles - do they do different compounds ?

Toyo, Toyo, Toyo, Toyo and one for the spare wheel too. [img]images/graemlins/gotmesome.gif[/img]
Great in the dry, great in the wet, and 2ft snow drifts down some single track lanes last night confirmed how good they were.
Need I say more. [img]images/graemlins/jump3.gif[/img]

At that price it doesn't even matter if they only last 9000 miles does it [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]

Hi,
I've got Michelin Pilot Sports on my S4. Horrible. Little to no feel at all. Also they are very bad in the wet unless you like understear!
Cheers
Robert

check the bridgestone potenza s-o3pp.
I've had pirelli's p6000, and michelin pilot sports(all in size 255x40 17)...Till now the Potenza is the best...I use them a lot a on tracks, and they do their job perfectly..
