Title: Omega tyre Makes when new!
Post by: MrMoffat on 17 March 2018, 16:36:42: Can anyone please advise what tyre make was supplied by Vauxhall from new on the Omega, as time is now looming for replacement all round. I have tried to search but here and on the net without any luck! :(

Either way, none of these are available, nor are their successors (PS3 or SportMaxx TT respectively).

Pilot Sport 4 are a very different tyre to PS2/PS3, having more in common with Pilot Super Sport. The current crop of SportMaxx RT2 are disappointing.

I personally use Pilot Sport 4 on my Omega, and had the most recent set put on just a few weeks ago.

Probably due to the well known (lack of) grip issues with Pilot Sport 2/3
