Awesome!

Can't beat the smell of vapourised MPSS especially at that price

I think its YOU that has helped the price fall over the last 2 years.
Sales must have more than doubled!!!!

I think the Runways represent much better value.......

Thought I'd try some 255s on the rear. Seems like a good excuse to smoke the crap off the current ones

I really need to buy a tyre fitting machine...

Even the modest 18" for the CV8 are only £128.

DOT 25/11 tyres are on the bay of E for £300 a pair. Not listed with a DOT but I spoke to them and they confiormed no older than this and dry stored so should be fine.

Am I right in thinking that the MPSS are quite a soft compound?

I don't want all the worries of speedo not being quite right, or possibility of tyre hitting wheel arch etc.

Besides, I've got just the right amount of grip - they drift just nicely

It's soft but they last surprisingly well. They also take a damn fine amount of abuse and always keep gripping, as they wear it seems although they get slippier when you provoke them, they're still full of grip in normal driving, and break away very predictably.

They're such a great tyre!

Different car I know, but my buisness partner & wife drive the same car. Astra GTC VXR. Both running 290bhp through the front wheels. Gail's is running Pirelli P Zero's & we get good wear out of them, 6,000 miles, half worn & it sticks quite well to the road, like a go-kart should. However, Gareth's is running Michelin's & yes it sticks, but after 4,000 miles, they're pretty well worn down.

So are the Michelin's a better tyre? My E3 is running the original Bridgestone Potenza's & yes it grips well, drifts well & at 10,000 miles it's still at 4mm tread (I did run it in for 5,000 miles properly).

My olde Vectra VXR Estate used to eat all 4 tyres every 8,000 miles whether they were conti's or budgets, so I'm doing well on the current tyre.
