I picked my car up in early April. There wasn't much grip, but that's partly down to the tyres being new too. I have plenty of experience of RWD so it doesn't scare me, but when they are worn out i will stick something else on just to see what the difference is. I have to say first choice will be the MPSS just because of all the positive reports from everyone here who has tried them already.

Hi there


Well my new wheels won't be here for another month or two it seems. :(

So ordered a pair of rear MPSS (seems they are EOL and stocks going short), got them from tyreleader at £209 each delivered. My Pzero at 4000 miles are on the markers, be interesting to see how long MPSS last with same driving style or a little harder due to it now being summer.

Shall see how it feels running MPSS on rear and Pzero on front. I shall then fit MPSS to the front in time for the Scotland road trip. :)

Not sure what to say really, so I will not say anything. Although by saying that I think I have said it all!

Mixing tyres!

Its an un-planned purchase, wheels were due now, but another two months to wait and I don't want to do the Scotland trip on illegal tyres.

Rears will go on this week, fronts later this month. So I can comment on how well the mixed tyres work or not. :)

Same as mine dude but you publicly slated me for it.
I still don't agree with it, but I am willing to try it and accept I was wrong if it works well.

Your feedback has led me to give it a try, end of the day if I dislike it I can buy the front pair earlier.

I do push my car pretty hard so if there is any kind of un-balance I will/should pick up on it.

But yes I still think mixing tyres is a very bad idea and now it is all your fault to me trying it, so I am an idiot, I shall slap my self several times and buy you a beer at NC500. :)

Good reply.

You will like the MPSSs but I think you already know that. Certainly, when I need fronts, I will be fitting them
