Michelins ALL the way!!!! Thats what I have. Not the longest lasting but far superior in every other way. Well worth the price and the slightly shorter life.

Chappy

I can recommend the PS2 as well

ClayJ

You just can't go wrong with Michelin PS2's -- I put them on every one of my cars that I can put them on, period. (and I have alot of cars.)

Bullett

LOL...Chappy, how long them bad boys last???

Chappy

Who me?

Hopefully, the rest of the year...I have another new set in the basement when these are gone!

FWIW, my OE Pilot Sports lasted a little over 16K miles...the front would have lasted longer, but the rears were shot (go figure ) I've got about 7K on the PS2s and they still look fairly new. If I get 15K, I'll be happy.

My buddy who owns a (SLK55) wore out his stock Pirelli rears in 6K!

Bullett

Yep, I fighure 15k will be the max...hard to stay off that "burn button"...

PS2's it is then.
£108 fitted, how does that compare with the US ?
Not that i could fit them in my bag if they were much cheaper ;-)

Though i am in Seattle for a week next week !

ClayJ

That's equivalent - or less expensive - than here in the US....
You were considering packing a couple in your carry-on, huh, if you could get them for less here? LOL

AMG_55

i didnt even look at the list

Bullett

They run around $300/tire for 255s, installed. Possible a little less. You can buy the tire uninstalled at $260 per.

Simbad

For once the UK comes out cheaper than the US- that doesn't happen often !
