Havent had the PS2's on this car but were on my old one and were excellent!!! The goodyears are just as good I would say, but seem to take a couple of 1000miles more to bed in.

I found the PS2's to have a softer compound though.. guess alot of it is down to driving style and conditions. If you have a search you may find a link to the evo tyre test.... its on here somewhere :wink:

I would also +1 this. Run F1's for a good 4 years, and yep do take about 1000 miles to bed it, but after that the best tyre I have found. Used to have Sport 8080's (replaced by the Sport Maxx I think) which I now have on my GTI, and reconfirms to me that its the worst tyre ever made.

Noisy, and absolutely unpredictable in the wet!

PS2's I have used and would recommend, and purely didnt use them on my last car because the Eagle F1's look better ;)

But tyres sometimes do suit differnt cars, and the PS2's I had were on a high performance front wheel drive car, as opposed to F1s on a rear wheel drive car. So perhaps I'll go back to the PS2's!
