ATS were doing buy one get the other half price, not sure if its still running.

Are you sure you have the right aspect ratio on the rears?

They're a staggered setup on your car and the rears should be 30 series not 35??

OP, Tyres 6 & 7 in that list would be my choice.

Run the Supersports my self and IMHO offer the best combination of grip, noise and mileage.

I certainly wouldn't pay another £100 for P-Zero's!

6 and 7 is contis and Michelins.

Go Michelin and avoid Conti, they are too noisy.

Falken are hard as ****e, crashy and noisy.

How is the SportMaxx?
I am hearing good things about the GT, meant to be an extremely quiet tyre.
5db quieter than most of the other tyres, which is a massive amount.

Been looking at them for the old mans BMW GT this morning.

Falken 452's are very good tyres and make it hard to justify spending almost double on the super premium brands.

 

[gIzzE]

But not that cheap anymore.

Just had a quote for Pilot Primacy's come in at £8 cheaper than FK452s on a set of 20s.
Plus the new 453 is not getting such good press.

I bought a set of 19" 452s for just under £400 for some BBS CH alloys, you couldn't get them for that now.

Falken 452's are very good tyres and make it hard to justify spending almost double on the super premium brands.

Falken ZE912's are even better! Just as good or better than a premium brand tyre.

I called Costco this morning. Sadly the 20% off offers doesn't apply to winter tyres.

 

[The Boss]

and costco can not cater for 19" tyres as they only stock 15-18 and above this was not quite hefty
