Looking at new tyres and I'm stuck between Uniroyal Rainsport 3 and Michelin Pilot Sport 4.

I had ps4’s Fitted last week for £166 a pair.

Impressed with the lack of losing traction and good rim protection.

Good luck with ATS if they are fitting... Make sure that you take photos of your alloys before you start with them...

PS4’s definitely. I’m running them on my 3er with 440hp and 295 rears and they stick like no others I’ve run.

Is correct, I have the magazine. Interesting that Goodyear Asymmetric 5's are way down the pecking order

I was worried some 17 yr old kid would be fitting them and did take photos. Turned out the garage was staffed by older guys and turned out fine.
I guess every garage is different. There might even be a kwikfit garage out there with a skillful and knowledgable mechanic!

They must've improved the Pirellis since mine as I've found the Michelins to be much better.

They haven't lol. Michelin still better from all those that I know that enjoy spirited driving.

I ended up getting a puncture repaired at Kwik Fit. It was a bit of a leap of faith, but to be fair to them I needn't have worried. Wheel handed back in same condition I gave it to them in. Dirty but no scratches.  :shocked:
