Which tyres?

I said dont ask...!
I wanted to seek the opinions & advice of others before buying, having heard v good reports about the conti's. There was 1 praise 4 the conti's on here so I shopped around & the best deal was on the conti's (not cheap, not sh*te!)

After all that info, would anyone ever consider re-moulds on their S4?!

I think what KayGee is trying to say here, Ivor, is : NFW!!!

I had to google for "NFW acronym" and you are correct, or call me from the hospital and give me your opinion on how well the remoulds suit the S4.

especially if you've had a MRC remap done.

Johnathan Palmer used to run all his race school cars on Colway remounds !! Not sure if he still does.

I am thinking of Yokohama AVS Sports or maybe their new Advan performance tyre but not sure if it is available in UK yet.

Got a link for Yoko Advan Perf tyre? I ran AVS SPorts on my S2 and was not impressed at all. In fact it stopped my 6year affliction with Yokohama.

Got Colway gravel/forest tyres on my M2 Escort rally car (basically because they are half the price of Dunlops!). They will take much more punishment than your average road going tyre but then they are designed for competion use. Not sure what their road tyres are like...

A friend recently went through a pair of Mich PS2's in 6k miles. They were on the rear of his M3

Advan Neova was the one I was thinking of http://www.yokohamatire.com/advan/

The other was Toyo ?

Bedford Autodrome, part of the Jonathon Palmer empire use Yokohama tyres on the circuit cars, not sure about the rally cars.

My 2nd set of Kumhos are working really well. Squealing a bit over the passed few days but I have to sympathise, I know how they feel, hot and bothered.

PS2s need to last a lot more than 6K for me to consider switching.

Just to stir things up more, I'm with KayGee on this debate

I've got that well know brand called Wanli on all four corners at the moment - they've a PS2 tread pattern (exact copy) and for £55 + vat each they offer tremendous value. I really can't complain with both wet and dry performance.

I wouldn't normally touch budget tyres, but they came with my new OZ alloys and I was advised to try them before I slated them.

toyo t1s are a softer ride than mich but depending on wether your a local road driver or a motorway driver will depend on milage! mine is going through 2 sets a year on front to 1 on rear at average of 1k a month local roads- the corners eat the edges of the fronts cus of the understeer in fast corners. alighnment check has helped but would like to try the miches again

I've got yokohama prada spec-2, i am really enjoying them. the dry grip is excellent but road noise is tad high. 18/225/45 good for 168mph
