Default Bumpy tyres!

As part of a general overhaul I've had my 20's refurbed, I also took off a set of Pirelli's, which were down to about 3 or 4 mm's and put on a nice new set of Michelin PS2's (My favourite tyre for my S8).

It was interesting how much of a difference they've made, a shimmy I had through the steering is gone, it tracks properly for the first time in ages and they are both grippier and much quieter.

I'm very surprised by how much of a difference they've made.

I test drove several on 20s before I bought mine, and like you was astonished how noisy the Pirelli Pzeros (Rossos I think) were on one of the cars.

I'm on PS2s and wouldn't buy anything else for this car.

Pricey, mind...

Yes that ties in with my thinking and experience completely, the P Zero Directionales were much cheaper but, in the end, much worse.............
