I'm thinking of something new for the MCV as well, but haven't decided what. The tyres currently on it have plenty of tread but are getting old. It'll only be driven in good weather, so wet/winter performance is of no relevance to me on this particular car. Just need to work out what's the best dry weather tyre for a GS.
What's the tread wear number of the Rosso's?

Mine did it on P Zeros to the point where I thought my geo must have been out. I changed to Conti SP6 and it was transformed. And in the cold, damp weather they were lethal, despite them having 5mm of tread at the time.
You'll notice the difference when it's time to change I'm sure.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or Supersport if you can get them.
I think they are excellent performance wise, and also wear well, something I find with all Michelin tyres.
Up here in Bonnie Scotland it can rain any time of year, so I need something with good wet gripAs most of us only do low summer mileages isn't it better to have bags of grip in the dry on tires that wear quickly than have something that last for years and then go's over date..

Thanks all for replying - well recommended are Goodyear ***. 2, so that's what I'll go for. If I can't get those at a reasonable price it will be Conti SP6 or Michelin PS3's

PS We have Vredestein winter tyres on our 4 x 4 and they are brilliant on it but their sports tyres only get one 'possible alternative' mention
2003 Spyder 4200Gt
Deon 246 GT (Alfa 3-litre V6)
So what are we thinking for a Quattroporte in the UK winter? MICHELIN Pilot Alpin, maybe?
+1 for the supersport. Take a good kicking on the track with no issues although the ride is firmer than with Goodyears i believe.
