Guys thank you bow Supersports are looking good. Since I do no Track Days other than those I've organised on here, my priority is for road use.

Suspected as much hence my post
IF you do a lot of track days Zero's, Corsa's or Cups will make you quicker (or indeed AD08's )
BUT you will struggle to keep them warm enough on the road in poor conditions
AND they will wear out a lot quicker!

The PSS's have given far better grip than the OEM RE050's on Johnny (no idea what AM fit to DB9's)
They have also lasted a lot longer! (don't know how that works!)
They are dual compound and the outer edge of the fronts on BMW have gone before the main tread frown
Mainly due to BMW's crap geometry design, a decent geo set up on an Aston prevents this.
Thanks Mikey, my goodness you know some stuff. wink
