Oh no it's another what tyre thread

Need some new rears but not sure what to do

Last 2 cars (E46 M3 and Cayman S) I have used Michelin PS2s and been very happy with them

At moment have 2 near new Falked 452s (dealer pre sale fitment) on front and while I don't really want them I am not prepared to ditch 2 near new tyres

Rears are Dunlop SPMaxx and tbh traction, especially in wet, is dire

Jag only recommend the Dunlops and Pirelli PZero

Options, just go with the Michelins (will be super sports) and then move towards 4 of these when fronts need swapping

Put a couple of Dunlops on (£50 each cheaper than Michelins) and then make a decision when either Front or Rears wear out, if I do what way to go then

open to any ideas

So Gibbo says, the MPSS are very durable so the extra £100 could pay for itself over the life of the tyre depending on how the Dunlops wear of course.

PZero have reviewed very well too, I have the old Asymetrico ones on the 300zx and I like them. If the new model is more of the same but with better grip then definitely worth a shout.

Cheers, the PZeros get very bad press amongst the Jag folks (in terms of wear, 8k for rears apparantly) , maybe just don't suit the car

I always found the PS2s to wear well too, the handling is ok with the Dunlops its the traction off the line that stinks
