I am up for a new set op tyres, front and rear. So I thought after 6 years on P zero's a change would be welcome.

Anybody use Conti's? I heard they do a decent mileage.

Thanks
Ronny

If you're happy with the P0 then keep them again. Pilot sports are my favourite at the moment.

Really? Might have to try them if I don't trade it in shortly. The back is getting a bit loose now they have worn down, but at first I couldn't budge them. Now I do get a bit of four wheel squeeling going on so maybe I have just learned to push the car better.

The P sero's must be really good then!

Original Contis were horrible when only part worn, and no confidence in the wet. New version may be much better.

Pilot Sport - was impressed with these, good traction, mileage and fairly quiet too.

SO'2s - had these on a BMW, were supposed to be the bee's knee but couldn't wait to get rid of 'em

Yokohama AVS - The dogs danglies, forget the stories of poor mileage, they overcame that years ago. Not the quietest tyres. Plumes of water from the rear tyres on the motorway look great in rear view mirrors

Dunlop 9090 - Good all round tyre, quiet, and good wet traction, good miles too

Will always go for Yokos myself - have seen quite afew new Boxsters in OPCs with these over last few months, hoping my new one has them - find out on Friday
