Don't think you can go too wrong with Michelin PS4s . Good all round tyre, currently running them on my car

Wrong!
They are much much better than a "good all round tyre", they are far and away the best ultra high performance summer tyre that is also reasonably good in the wet that money can buy. On my F-Type three years ago now I swapped out the absolutely woeful OEM Pirelli P-Zeros for MPS4S and the difference was night and day.

Sorry for the lack of excitement in describing the tyre of choice by many. They are excellent!! In fact, I also run them on my 147GTA & Wife's 208 Peugeot.

Congrats! Looks from the number plate that you're in the UK? The Michelin pilot is a terrific tire but as mentioned it's a summer performance tire. Good in the UK for 3 seasons but not appropriate for winter. So if you go that way you will need a different winter / AS tyre.

I run different summer (Pilot 4S) and winter (sottozero) on mine. Else you would be better suited with an all season.

Thanks for your replies.
I've opted for Michelin PS4s.
But getting the wheels refurbished as well. So will be a few weeks before I get to test them out.
£715 delivered for a set of 4. Good value I thought.

That's a good deal. They are great tyres. Where in the UK are you based? Are you planning to run them year round? I'm in NE USA now - once it gets down towards freezing they pretty quickly lose traction...

I'm near London. I have another carbi can use if the roads are bad, so won't swap over to snow tyres.
