Just got some new boots

[Taliesyn]

Just checked out ATS when I was looking for a tyre for my little diesel.
They are doing the Michelin pilot 235/40 for £180 each 265/35 £231 each

Just put a full set of 452s on mine today. After burning through the last set without too many problems I was happy to stick with them. Looking at trying Goodyear F1 assymmetric 2s next time as they get a good write up.

Dunno Frank, dont really look. Use these on the bimmers; as loz says the grip is enormous but I dont expect they'd last long on a maser. Think I could probably destroy a set in a minute if I really tried Yoko a048s are just as grippy but might last a couple of hundred miles more

The rears on mine need replacing, I've been quoted £239.95 (plus VAT) each for the original spec P Zero Rossos, fitted and balanced, by Bill McGraths. .

That's a great price, knocking on for £70 less than Blackcircles! Might give them a ring myself, as I need rears for the GS.

 

[lozcb]

At the end of the day ....................after all the research its down to personal preference and trial and error , having tries most of the main makes in recent years pound for pound and longevity smoothness low noise Vreddies still come up trumphs in my book

For f*cks sake, if you want a tyre that grips in snow, buy a winter tyre!

There'll see off your 452 any day Benny , streets ahead , ultrac sessanta's are ther foothold in the yearound sector , and rather good at it they are too , and your right they make the best winter and snow tyres too what better track record for grip can you have , you couldn't write a better cv if you lied about it hahaha
