LOOK! I just bought myself for Christmas: Winter Wheels & Tyres.

My pirelli zero M&S are not "stretched" but are they are WAY quieter than the bridgestones on my Golf.

Every tyre seems to be quieter than the Bilgestones.

I'll be shot of mine soon. Can't wait.

Mine should be worn out come March as I travel 80 miles a day minimum.  I'll be going for conti's or michie's

Michelins PS3s are brilliant with excellent rim protection.
The Conti 3s are to be replaced in Jan '11 by Conti 5s. The Contis don't have effective rim protection, which is a must with 18" wheels. The ContiSportContact 3s on the Merc now look the worse for wear after 5k miles and those are the front ones! Madam has also kerbed both front AMG alloys beautifully.
Definitely good rim protection would have helped.
If the 5s are anything like the 3s for rim protection, I'll buy Michelin PS3s. Hence my signature.

Or buy 19" wheels and get them fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Yummy!

Tyres still stuck in Best, Holland.

Hark him. Bully for you. You cheeky chappie. Your GTD was stuck too. My day will come soon. But when?
The tyres have moved approx 200 miles from Worms to Best in 7 days! Does not bode well for my GTI's performance!

[The Doc]

My trusty GTD hasn't been stuck anywhere old chap, been using the disco / rs4 / GTD depending on duty, I went to work in the GTD for a laugh last week it was fine

Sore topic the kerbing. She is a bloody good driver, except when parking. Now what does that mean?
