Hmm,

I don't know now. I was all up for singing the praises of the Goodyear, but when I went to Spa this weekend and the weather turned wet, nearly everyone put Michelin PS2's on. Porsches, BMW's, allsorts. Mind you having said that I passed most of them with Toyo R888's  :grin:

I've got PS2s on mine.  Done 9000 miles on them and down to 3mm so need some new ones pretty soon.  They are awesome though.  Terrific grip in dry and wet conditions and the ride is pretty smooth.

Don't know what to get next though.  Might look into getting something that lasts a bit longer.

I have the goodyear's on the front at moment great tyre, but dont last very long?? My next tyre's will be the PS2's. I have done 5000 miles & recon got another 1000 to go befor they need replacing?? For the extra money its got be PS2 also youll get longer life out them!!

And the PS2s wont need three months to bed in like the F1s  :lipsrsealed:

T_T will be along any minute to big up the PS2's!  :laugh:

My tuppence worth: Goodyears better

ORLY - is that why all of the high-end high performance car manufactures OEM supply Goodyears . . . . oh sorry, got that bit wrong didn't I.  Goodyear F1s are NOT factory fitted by anyone - yet the PS2 is factory fitted by a shed load of manufactures, including Porsche, BMW, Audi, AMG-Mercedes, Renault, Ford, Bugatti . . . .

When the likes of Porsche deem that F1s are good enough, then they WILL offer them as factory fitment - but they don't - wonder why - simply because they are NOT as good as the PS2.  :rolleyes:

ETTO and all that, though.  :smiley:

Did have michelins on my mk5 r32 and they were nothing special and in the wet they were hopeless(as all michelins are).

Yawn . . . if they were factory fittted on the R32, then they were NOT the PS2 - they would have been the Pilot Exalto PE2, which are a distinct step below the PS2.  :rolleyes:

And in the wet, Michelins, of all flavours are categorically NOT 'hopeless' in the wet. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
