      I've just bought some new Michelin PS4S's from Pneus, they were cheaper than Oponeo.
      Only those two companies had any........

              The other little bonus from Pneus is that they have a loyalty scheme (points mean money) AND also give you occasional discounts that don't evaporate quickly.
              The loyalty scheme works out (eventually!) to about a 3% discount but you need to reach fairly high thresholds to redeem anything (spend £1500 for starters).

              The 2 tyres I bought (I need 4 but read on...) triggered a £50 credit via the loyalty scheme due to how much I've spent with them in recent years!
              I also have a 2.5% discount code acquired a while back, all recorded on my account.

              So when the £50 works its way onto my account (takes a few days) I'll order my other two summer tyres, will have 2.5% discounted off the price and then find I'm already £50 in credit as well. So 2 tyres at about £200 each (well just under) will actually cost about £340 as opposed to £400. (And I'll have a notional £6 added to my loyalty account as well)

                  Tell you what Rikki I'll be fitting another set of of Uniroyal Rain Sport III's to my 2.8 C4 once the winter tyre's come off...

                  Okay they may not be rated up their with the like's of Continental, Dunlop and Goodyear etc but you will not find better value for money. By a mile!!!!

                  The set I had on my Coupe last year took all I could chuck at them including four wheel drifts and sustained 100+ MPH abuse for well over 20 miles last year approaching Ullapool, I totally fried my brakes before the tyres......

                  Okay I took 3/4 mm of them over my 1800 mile highland excursion but most of that was in a moment of madness...but I still got 10K out them over the year.

                  You'll not find better value IMO.

                      I've just had my Rainsport 3's fitted so give me a few days to rebuild the rear suspension and I'll let you know how they work for me on my URS6

                        Michelin Pilot Super Sports are excellent, my favourite so far.

                        Also really liked the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position when I had them. Would consider the S04 Pole Position as well.

                            I'm looking at trying some P Zero Trofeo R's this year.

                            Long story but hopefully got 4 turning up mid year...

                            Should be pretty grippy... at least in the dry...
                            Honda CBR 1100XX Blackbird Turbo....undergoing major changes.....
                            S2 Coupe... bit easier off the line...
                            '03 ZX12-R daily hack.... lots of nice bolt ons...

                                They look nice! Look a little like the bridgestone re070 i have on my car now with the slick profile on the outside and normal profile on the inside.
