+1 for the michelin pilot super sport. a bit surprised they weren't mentioned earlier.

Thanks for pointing them out. That's great news. Although I don't need new tyres yet I'd definitely be getting a set of these to replace the OEM Continental 3's.

The Pilot Sport Cup 2 look a little too edgy for the amount of rain we have in the UK. No doubt a super tyre, but it would need a deft right foot in the wet. Or low speeds. Echoed by the F wet rating they have over the A wet rating the Pilot Super Sport receive.

Why are the super sports so hard to find online, the only place selling the 215 45 17 is my tyres as the link above.

Same here, its a real problem finding a competitive price. Look tempting tho.

My friend has 18s on his r26 Megane and rates them. But the 17s just don't seem to exist.

Michelin do list them on their UK website. It's the highest speed rated tyre they manufacture in that size, ZR(Y), which is why, I'd expect, so few people stock them.

you are replacing all 4 or just 2?

 

[shepster200]

Just two Chris as there's stacks of wear on the rears?

 

[Chris]

Well Firestone are just a budget tyre? If it were me I'd replace all 4 and keep the others to trade in with.

[Rick]

[Rogue]

Bit annoying that.

 

[Rick]

Yeah we were just discussing earlier this is the only place they are available so there isn't a competitive price.

Ah got ya mate

Don't know if they've been mentioned but can get uniroyal rainsport 3 for £50 a corner on camskill.

theyre a medium range tyre but wet grip is absolutely heroic. Dry grip is spot on as well. Side walls flex a bit but nothing more than I've felt on tyres costing much more!

wortha shot for the money. They work for me being in Scotland as its wet 90% of the year

 

[Chris_200CUP]

Eagle F1s or Conti sport 5s. Won't go wrong with either
