Switch from Pirelli P zero to Michelin Pilot 4S

[FredoMusicman]

This Topic for the DB9.2, Virage and DBS owners, or for those who switched on 20' rims.
A lot of discussions and Videos about Bridgestone VS Michelin, but less for Pirelli VS Michelin, that's why this topic.

The Pirelli P Zero are the special designed tyres for these models and their power. Sure, but here is my experience by switching from P to M:

Less noise, more comfort, better responding by turning, smoother. No more automatic guidance in the road ruts, I'm not sure how to explain this in ENG.. I hope you understand what I mean: With the P I had to hold the steering wheel with my two hands, because the wheels were guided by the imperfections of the road. And with the M this is anymore the case.

The only thing, those tyres don't have the bead protecting the rim, and they look a little bit less sportier that the dedicated Pirelli. But the car is beautiful enough to cover this, no ?

Still satisfied with the Michelin after some months now.

I've always known the phenomenon where the car follows imperfections in the road rather than driving straight as "tram-lining". I think it harks back to the days when there used to be railway lines for urban trams sunk into the road surface

Back in the days? Milan is still full of those! You can definitely tell your back wheels are driving on iron, more so if you even think about giving it some gas.
