Yup go with the goodyears... I thought they are up to asymmetric 5 now I saw them on blackcircles the other day
My car is on Bridgestone potenzas which is what it came on and I have not been compelled to change them they are pretty grippy once up to temp.. i think once the rears go I will change to goodyear

I struggled with obtaining the correct sizes so I recently purchased 4 pilot sport 4s and after the awful pzero I am very happy with them. Can’t comment on the other options, but the Goodyear’s are heavily recommended as well .

PS4Ss tend to knock the spots off all others tyres in multiple conditions, Jon. They’d get my vote purely on the basis of reviews and popular support here. I’ll be contacting Newton’s chums at Elite for a quote.
edit: after looking on tyreviews (link here), I've learned that Conti Sport 6s tend to out-perform the PS4Ss in most tests. See my later post on this thread for a link.

You’re not wrong. Rears are 265/30 R19s. Will look into Michelins. Thanks

I concur about the PS4S being the current best tyre. Got them in the Alfa and very impressed. Got Pilot Super Sports on the 4200 and they are great but think the PS4S is the almost direct replacement.
The PS4 are.good as.well and a bit cheaper. Also Eagle F1 is also a good recommended tyre. Depends on price I guess but PS4S would get my vote if numbers are similar.
I think the PSS is not so good in the rain though but my 4200 never goes out in the rain so not an issue for me.

They were... I had to replace the fronts following a day at North Weald Driver Training! The rears also took a bit of a beating....

Michelin Pilot Supersports all round my GS. Not the quietest tyre on the move but absolutely superb for grip in the dry. The car has more grip than I would dare to use on public roads and when a safe opportunity presents itself I do like to push on a bit.
My car is dry use only unless I get caught in a shower so only used them a handful of times in the wet. Performance seemed fine but it wasn't difficult to spin up the rears, although I suppose that would be true of any tyre on a 400bhp rear drive car!
