Well I'm very much looking forward to my trip to Micheldever Tyres this afternoon. When changing my discs at the weekend I noticed the tyres I have are a bit of a mis-mash, well they are!

OSF Autogrip Radial F106 245/35/19
NSF Autogrip Radial F106 245/35/19

OSR Runway Enduro916 245/35/19
NSR Primewell 245/35/19

I have a full set of Michelins put-by for my visit, I think I'm going to notice quite a difference £740 All-in

going to be like chalk and cheese

Yeah, you're going to love it!

I remember when Bridgstone tyres were from Japan, and the first thing that a motorcyclist swapped off his bike, as they were lethal in the wet. Some of the cheap tyres are starting to perform well. I've just had a full set of Generals fitted to my BMW, and they seem to hold up well on road and track. I don't know what their wet weather grip is like though, so the jury is still out.

IIRC, Sarge 4x4 fits a lot of them, and rates them too - though not on his GTS.

Good on BMWs from what I'd read, but you need to remember where you are Stiggy.

Generals are good on my BMW.

(waits for the "Falkens are good" comment).

[stigmundfreud]

i'll concede I am a st driver as everyone of the vette owners slags off the goodyear F1's but I have to say they're more than adequate

Falkens are good better than generals

Well I'm very happy with my new Michelins Chalk & Cheese indeed. One thing I have really noticed is the sound of little stones being flicked up by the sticky tyres on side roads. I have 37psi in them at the moment, would anyone suggest going a little higher?

Dont think many change the front from the standard 36PSI
I always run a couple less PSI in the rears.

[Jupp318]

My Tyre placard (On drivers door edge below the catch) says 35psi Normal all round & 42psi fully loaded all round. So I guess there is room to manoeuvre between these pressures. I had a set of Pirelli Phantoms on a Moto Guzzi last 1800 miles because nobody told me they should be run at 2 psi more than standard, an expensive mistake!

[stigmundfreud]

you will be fine with stock pressures
