    I know they have been done in the past - but here is one up for sale on Pistonheads. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/109279.htm I recall seeing a review of one in Evo. Essentially it said the mutts nutts in a straight line, but rather scary in a corner and fall over type way.

    Michelin Primacy

    Just got rid of the Pirelli P6000's - even though they were still very healthy in terms of tread depth. Not done many miles on the Michelins - but they are quieter grippier and dare i say it the car rides or feels as though its riding better.
