Fair to say the fronts had seen better days....
I am told many supercars do this due castor angles as opposed to camber, but won't pretend this is my area of expertise.
The reads were even in wear and looked to have some life in them, but felt gripless

Always nice to get proper site of the underside of the arches, disks and suspension

My F80 M3 wore the inside edges just like that...

I think my CrossClimate+ are great so it’s amazing that they seem to have improved performance in every metric.

yeah, i highly rate my Cross Climate + tyres
still going strong, good in the summer, excellent in winter

I can confirm now after a couple of months that these tyres are an absolute pile of dog carp.
On a very slightly damp road last night I entered a roundabout, not too fast but swiftly and turned in, the car (c43) instantly lost traction, oversteered and went into a 4 wheel drift. I've driven that roundabout for the last 20 years and none of my other cars have let go that suddenly. I suspect if the car was 2wd I may have binned it but I managed to get it back in line with some opposite lock and keeping the power on.
They're 225/40/18 on the front and 245/45/18 on the rear. Thinking of going for PS4s this time. I usually go with Goodyear but the PS4s seem a more obvious choice. I might look at putting 255s on the rear if the wheels are wide enough.
Sounds like you were going far too fast for the road conditions.
Sounds like the Bridgestones are ****.

Check the rankings and ratings. They’re clearly complete rubbish.
No.
They get some pretty good reviews, certainly not the worst tyre by a huge margin. Interesting that most of the comments seem to be its not that good at sub 100mph speeds and only come good at high speeds?
It gets very good results in the wet as well. Seems like the tyres need warming up before they come good.
Sure, if you say so.

i could also say "you weren't there" and neither was i, so i cant comment

Just ordered a couple of Pilot Sport 4 for My Merc E350.
Anybody had them before ?

Not on a Merc, but I've had 2 sets of PS4 on my C6 A6 and very happy with them!

ive not had the 4 or a merc, but previous ones, and i always find Michelin the best tyres

I have them and I find them excellent. I don't think I've had a better tyre.

Perfect thanks all
