    Always had a soft spot for Michelin, I can 'feel' when their at the edge of adhesion and for some reason am still loyal to the brand even now that I have to buy them for normal price!!

    I run tyres built by a manufacturer that's on the "list" -- Avon.

    I also suggest that the thread starter read the sides of tyres and note the spellings of Pirelli, Michelin, and Metzeler.

    If you can make 365 condoms out of a used tyre, then it's probably a Goodyear.

    I've always liked Dunlops in the past, but I tried the new (ish) diablo supercorsa's and was well impressed by them, both on the track and the road. Yet to try the Dunny m-techs, but at the price of them.....
