From looking at various reviews etc was thinking Goodyear, vredatein, Michelin or contis.

Michelin PS3s are grippy in the wet and dry, relatively quiet and wear well.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I'll ask again but why do people rave about the Michelins when they are only rated an E where other tyres have much better ratings?

E for rolling resistance.... lower rolling resistance actually mean less dry grip.

I was led to the michelins by sheer desperation. No contis in stock not where there any goodyears. I had to make the best of a bad situation.
