The tyre mis match wouldn't bother me, it's not some kind of precise handling exotica

Seems like a good car on paper.

True but Pirelli makes terrible tyres (imhe)

I actually preferred the Pirelli I had on the family bus in comparison to the MPS4S that are on it now. The Pirellis wore a lot better too. However...I do keep reading that most folk don't seem to like Pirellis though in fairness.

Yes Chris I am sure they have had some duff tyres in their time but I am also pretty sure that premium tyres are massively benchmarked and that a manufacturer consistently making terrible tyres wouldn't survive long.

I have P Zeros on the JCW and I tracked the M2 on them too at the rear. They might not have been the best for the use but it would be hard to call them terrible.

My M2 came on a brand new set of Pirellis and i thought they were decent. I dont recall having any issues with them.

The only reason i changed them was because i changed the wheels and the replacement set came with Michelin MPS4S.
