Thanks.

I just want those Michelin PA3 tyres so badly. I hate the Bridgestones. They don't even grip in the dry. Utter rubbish.

No point re-mapping a car if the tyres do not grip. I'll post pictures once I empty my wallet again! :rolleyes:

If you're going back to Bridgestone's shouldn't that be the other way round? :huh: [Dunlops make Bridgestones look good]

I was considering these:

What do you think?
You must have money to burn paying over a grand for tyres you don't really need in this country [If you did it would only be for a few weeks a year] The Michelin Pilot Sport 3 for example are only about £150 each, and are easily able to cope with almost anything within reason in this country. I've never bought winter tyres for a car yet, if it gets really bad I won't use the car.

Morning everyone.
RickS: Are you ok?
Gilly was perfectly clear the first time around!
Yes, the B'stones even without lube slip just like a well lubed rubber. They have certainly missed their vocation.

I just love expensive shoes.
I hate the Bridgestones, and I want those tyres for better or for worse. :smiley:

Sorry R32, must be misunderstanding you, I thought you meant you were going back to Bridgestone's from Dunlops. If they are worse than Dunlops why are you going back to them?
