On my way back from my MOT got into a bit of a tankslapper on a damp roundabout, second time. One of the MOT advisories was for cracked and worn rear tyres so hardly surprising. Potenza's on the rear atm. Michelin PS4's newish on the front this is how I bought my poverty pork.

265/40/18 is the size, any recommendations. Current tyres fine in the dry, lethal in the wet!

Thinking Goodyear F1 Eagles, but not many 5's around all seem to be 2's.

PS4 to match the front surely? Yes more expensive than GY etc but I’m a big fan of Michelin and planning to replace a pair of old and worn out N4 PS2 with PS4 on my 987. Oponeo is about the cheapest I can find atm.

I got two PS4s fitted on the rear of my 986 earlier this year, they are fantastic. Sticks to the road like glue. When I bought it had hideous wooden ditchfinders on it and it was very squirmy in the wet, (to the point it was scary).

Only problem is they don't last long, I don't tend to go fast but enjoy the corners...

Thanks all, I had read some reviews that were not that flattering about the PS4's will get sorted asap in that case.
