Goodyear F1 asymmetric

Michelin Pilot Sport 2

Those two were the leading front runners back in 2008. Not sure if any newer models have been released that trump these.

I've gone for the Michelin's.

Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's.

These are asymetric, and a fraction of the cost of those 2 others mentioned for two thirds the cost.

Have them and will be renewing with them.

I used to have the Michelin PS2's but recently got them replaced with the latest PS3's.

V. good. Cost me about £142 each (18").

PS3's here too for me - better wet weather performance than pretty much any tyre out there.

No summer tyre is going to be great in the winter  :rolleyes:

Goodyear F1's or Vredstrein get my vote - I've got both on my car  :smiley:

I've done approx 7K on my Goodyears and got approx 4-5mm of tread left
