I'm just checking the deal that Michelin are offering to the end of May which headlines as "Up to £100 off".   It looks like you only get a £100 pay back if you buy 4 19" tyres.   I have 18" and only need 2 tyres, so I'd only get £20 back. 

Is that right? Has anyone else claimed back on this deal?  Might go for the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSports if that is right.

I put 4 18” PS5’s on last month and got £50 back. I think it maybe for participating dealers only as part of the application process was to select the dealer from a drop-down menu, but I could be wrong. Process took less than 5 mins and I got the money last week.

The PS5’s feel so much better than the Potenza’s they replaced and an awful lot quieter.

Can you confirm that you mean the PS4 and not PS4S Davo? 

I don't think the PS4S are available in 18".

I thought they were now the Yaris GR was using them...
You can get the 4s

Yikes!!  I'm not sure my driving can justify an extra £50 per tyre.  I think it'll have to be two new PS4, Eagle F1 or PS5.

Thanks for updating me guys.

Read and watched reviews and I've decided to go for the........Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 - currently £111 fitted at Kwik fit with 10% off if you order two before midnight.  I'll let you know how they compare to the current Potenza S005's.

It’s been traded for a new car for my wife who recently passed her test, so I guess it’s swapped for a seat Ateca.
I will be driving my wife’s old Nissan Almera for the next 3 weeks till my new bmw ix3 arrives.

I don’t envy you having to remove that wrap!
The Ateca is a nice car, a colleague of mine ran one for a couple of years and it did him good service. No bongs!
