    Michelin Pilots on mine ATM

    I've also used Goodyear Eagle F1's but I seem to recal these aren't the same nowadays

    You're looking at roughly 100 quid a tyre plus fitting

                    Same for me.

                    Never liked the toyo tyres really and the yoko pradas on mine are not that good either.

                    Would only have the tyres mentioned in the quote.

                      Michelin Pilot Sport 3's all day long, much better than the crap 2's because they don't have the thin tread on the corners, so they last longer too!

                          They are very good value for money and look very much like R888's Camskill are doing them for £127 each at the mo

                          or cheaper still, here....

                            That's not true - the PS2's are the better tyre but are gradually being discontinued.

                              How?! When they don't grip as well and wear out quicker?
