My Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's were at the end of their lives (all 4 worn down equally, which was convenient) so decided to swap them out for something else.
Decided to try the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4, as have seen good reviews of them.
Got them fitted a couple of days ago and my immediate impressions are:
So, all-in-all, I'm really impressed with these - got a long run to do starting today, so will get a chance to really shake them down (but I won't be about to answer any questions, sorry!).
Decided to try the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4, as have seen good reviews of them.
Got them fitted a couple of days ago and my immediate impressions are:
- Improved front end grip - better than the F1's, even when they were brand new. Understeer has reduced nicely
- Slightly quieter
- Seem to absorb the bumps better
- MPG seems the same (so far, too soon to say)
- Slightly less rim protection than F1's
- Cost about £20/tyre more than the F1's
- The wheels are actually correctly balanced now (Audi fitted the F1's and failed miserably to get this right (despite 2 attempts) - at higher speeds, the unoccupied passenger seat would "wobble". That's completely gone now). The Michelins were not fitted by Audi...
- Running at 39PSI front, 37PSI rear
