Re: Tyre recommendations

Hi.

Sorry about the cost thingy; but it really can’t be helped. The price of everything has gone up horribly. And the applies to quality tyres particularly. A big contributor to the cost increase is that Russian idiot.

Re: Tyre recommendations for a 356A

Well the Pirelli are brilliant. that is why they score so highly. I was also suprised by the Michelins performance. However they were testing the XWX, which is more aimed at heavier cars, and warmer climates. Hence the Michelin dry performance is actually very good. We all know we want the Pirelli r...
