General Car Chat / Re: Another GY F1 Assym 2 failure?
« on: 04 April 2016, 18:43:50 »I currently have Pilot Sport 4's on the back of both mine. Too early in their life to properly comment, but so far I'm happy with them - happier than I've been at the same stage with GY F1 A2, Conti SC5 and the current crop of RTs.I'm going to try some Conti sports on the Elite when the wheels come back from the refurb.I found Contisport SC5 unsuitable for the Omega - immediately they went on, hopeless levels of grip, immediately noticeable even when going carefully (as I always do on new tyres until the release compound is worn through). I hoped it was just the release compound, but it never improved, and the fronts were utterly spent by 3k. I think the rears lasted to 5k IIRC.
Wheels went in today for refurb and I get them back next Monday as I'm working from Friday over the weekend. Just been on the Blackcircles web page and they are doing F1 Assy 2 for £91.21 each, if they last more than 10K like the Falkens I had fitted for MoT last year I may put 4 of them on.
Plod had fitted Michelin Primacy HP's when I got the Elite off of Josh, which lasted 3 years and 20-25k miles. They are £98.12 each and the Pilot sport4 are £98.13 each. I had no issues with them the way I drive. I have to make my mind up this week so I can have them fitted next Tuesday
Paid £90 each fitted for the 17's and £142 each fitted for the 245/40/18s (before the £36 per tyre discount due to the GY failures). In Jan.
Gixer tried my 245/40/18 PS4s on the front of his, seemed happy enough with them, but possibly a notch below the Pilot Super Sports he currently uses on cornering grip.
Think I will now shop around for the best price on the PS4's looking at this
