Falkens are also worth a look, I have used them in the past all ok.

I'm running falken 452's at the moment, in the dry they are excellent especially with the heat we've got at the moment. However in the wet they're pretty bad :undecided:

x2

ATS are doing 25% off 4 Michelin tyres or 15% off 2, this is an in branch only offer so not available online, they did 4 PS3's for £550 fitted

Michelin also have a cashback deal on at the moment link

With the £50 cash back it cost me £500 for a set of PS3's (£125 a corner) fitted which was cheaper than Uniroyal's, Goodyears, Conti's, Pirelli's etc :afro:

Ended up just getting Falken 452's get them fitted today.  Read alot of reviews and the positive ones outweighed the negative so they will do me.

I have only ever heard good things about Falken too, they tend to be the small stretched ones though so dont know how the standard ones fair
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)

The Falken 452's I had were great in a straight line just not corners especially in the wet  :laugh:
