New rear tyres (245/40 17)

[mjt]

My Michelin Pilot Sports are down to the wear markers and are noticably down on grip, especially in the wet.

I've done 15,000 miles on them and got knows how long they were on there before.
I was thinking of replacing them with some more Michelins as they last forever and are excellent tyres, but it seems that they only ones available are PS3s (or Primacy HPs), which apparently aren't very good?

I guess I should just get F1 Assy 2s to match the fronts. Unless the CS5s are noticably better, but I doubt it..

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymm 2's - You cannot buy better for the money.

I'd argue Bridgestones are as good. I have F1AS2 on
Mine now and I keep forgetting to steer enough. It needs a lot more to turn due to the internal slip.


I guess most cars won't notice this though and I can't complain at grip, they are a bit squidgy though

Shame there are no decent Michelins in this size any more
