An interesting read, however, they lost me at:
They are next to useless in the wet on my car. The CS3's give me much better wet grip.

The 'NEW' P Zero.
ie not the existing one.
Rolling Resistence figures look hugely impressive for the Assymetric 2 - definately my next tyre.
Shame they didnt stick those Falkens in to shut the cheapskates up.

Main issue for the new F1s is the price, 50% more than the original F1s. £173 for 225/40 r18 for my car make them more expensive than PS2s. Hopefully the price will drop over time.

Missed that
Couldn't be worse than the old one!
Crikey really?! That's a huge deal breaker if thats true. CS3's in that size are £114!
Just had a set of 225/45 17 94Y F1A2s fitted this morning to the S4 for £114 each. Not that much difference in the price from the PS3s - £116 each and SC3s - £115. If I wanted the original F1As they would have been £101 fitted. Obvioulsy prices from the same source. The supplier did say that was the best price available at the moment due to them being so new, but he would say that!
The only other price I could find for the F1A2s was from mytyres and that was £116 + postage and then fitting.
Haven't driven the car yet, will report back in a week or so once I get used to them.

Bit of a premium for being new?
Whats with the 1960's script on the side?!
I was actually thinking of changing my tyres as I've got some very old Pilot Sports (note, not PS2) on the front and back.
In damp (and wet) conditions, it slides quite a bit. Understeers too, which is odd.
They've got loads of tread on the rear, so I might just be a ***** and stick some Assy 2s on the front and leave it like that

Assymetric 2:
225/45 17 on the front for £105
245/40 17 on the rear - £175
CS3s are £135
PS3s are £155
Food for thought..
Where have you seen the A2 for only £105? Sounds like a bargain.
It was a local mobile specialist, I've used him for years for my road and track tyres.
