What a difference.
« on: 05 June 2014, 12:59:38 »
When I purchased my 2.6 it had a virtually new set of Michelin Primacys on it, I fitted a new set recently and the car has always driven beautifully on these tyres.The 2.2 came with Pirellis & I have never really been happy with the feel of it today I had two new Michelins fitted on the front wheels & boy what a difference car now drives great I  have even had it valeted SWMBO will be pleased when she gets it back !! However being a woman will probably  not even  notice the difference.

Standard fit on the MV6, so Vauxhall obviously rate them.

I had them fitted to mine but found Goodyear F1 asy2 far superior. :y

Having said that the Michelin's were part worn already so perhaps past their best. :y

I covered 25,000 miles on the Michelins & changed them when they got 3mm in depth the Pirellis only managed 19,000 miles before reaching 3mm & yes I know the legal limit is 1.6mm but would never run a vehicle on tyres that low on tread.

Steve doesn't have to buy his own tyres (or cars for that matter) He's a scouser. ::) ::) ;D

Steven Gerrard is the only scouser who actually buys his own car. :)
