Anyone tried these?
I know a few other people who say they are very good. Only ~5% down on paying for top dollar tyres but great all round. eg off A4's and an R32 Golf. But they are half the price of Pirellis or Michilen. Tempted to give them a go.

Any feed back short of the usual "they are cheap therfore they are carp" would be appreciated. Actually they are still twice the price of Nankangs that someone said I should try but there is no way thats going to happen.

I have them.

so has a friend.

We use to buy Pilot sport before, but for the price these are as good as and last long. Pretty good grip as well.

Just an update on these.
When I got them new they really were bad. Very squirmy on the tread. A much quieter tyre though and very smooth. No tramlining at all. Sort of tyre youd put on an A8 etc.

After a track day about a week later really scrubed the tyres in well. A big improvment. They werent too bad on the track either and I didnt destroy them either.

I have only used the P Zeros and find the PZeros had more grip but these are better and were half the price. Saying this I will probably still try the PS2's from what everyone else has said. Im not totally sold with them but not a bad choice if you need tyres when your a bit short of cash.
