I'm also impressed by their low noise on the motorway, anywhere except the concrete section of the M25, where they howl like wolves at the moon.

I think for my next change, I'll be switching to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. I can't resist the idea of two different compounds on a tyre! Also, I run Michelins on my Volvo for years and they've served me well.
Tony, I think you have just made this decision for me
When you say pushed, do you mean like proper pushed that its almost scary and adrenaline is flowing like a fuel under high pressure ??

I hate this bit on M25 and I don't understand how this section hasn't been resurfaced yet.

Thank you Tony

By the way, dual compound ain't that great, at least wasnt for me. As far as I am aware, Toyo Proxes T1 Sport which I bought brand new had soft compound on the inside of the tyre a hard compound on the outside. When I removed them there was absolutely nothing left on the inside but 5mm left on the outside in less than a year.
