Yes I've had people recommend recommend some right rubbish and they just don't know any better! At first I thought they where trying to kill me!
Some people think all tyres are the same! Some of Asia tyres are really bad, the rubber is terrible in the wet. But they may work in a really hot climate!
Tyre fitters will recommend a tyre even though they have never driven a car with them on!!! Many of them are to busy fitting tyres to actually drive a car. All of them are underpaid for what they do, so most of them don't performance cars and then, can they drive!!!
I've got some michelin pilot super sports and they seem really good so far! but I've only done done about 200 miles so can't comment on mileage, wet grip is very good and traction control light doesn't flash as much ( damm thing cutting my power) dry grip seem brilliant but the roads that bad at the moment, I haven't really been pushing it, but every time I come out of a corner, i think I could have gone a lot faster!
But you can't trust anyone!
Cheers Dave
