I currently have Michelin Pilot Sports on (not my choice were on when i bought it), and it doesnt suprise me they did poorly in the wet braking test - i have very little confidence in them under heavy braking, particularly in the wet. im quite suprised to see they came top in the dry braking, as i dont think thats great either but oh well. Will be a while before they will need to be changed, but im leaning towards the vredestein's at the moment i think - just to save myself a few quid! (im a cheapskate) :smug:

....But different tyres suit different cars. It's all to do with dynamics.
