Any recommendations on a maximum grip tyre ? Looking for max grip but not a track day orientated tyre. Road only so don't want to loose any wet grip braking.

Hearing good things about Michelin pilot super sport, but not much first hand experience around, too new I guess. I 'm also dubious about Michelins generally, as they seem to offer most of their grip in the first few k then go off and settle down to do big miles. Which is not what I'm looking for, ultimately.

Any sticky road tyre recommendations? Ta

Price is not an issue if the performance is there. I don't have an issue paying for stuff that works and works well. I do bauk at paying top money for stuff that's not up to the job, and thus far I've seen top shelf Michelins destroyed in short order. Pilot sport 2 to be precise.

Defo looking for road performance though. So has to have good wet weather ratings. Which would include minimal aqua planing in standing water. M4 drainage is very bad in heavy weather, with deep puddles creeping into lane 3.

Looks like I'll have to give these pss a spin. Thankyou for all your suggestions lady and gents.


....oh, any thoughts on what sort of miles to expect out of these pss? It's a lesser requirement to see decent miles but just out of interest. smile ....Front especially. As my fronts are low.
