Do the tyres on your car say something about you or its history?

Mine has 4 matching Michelin PS4 and I have another 4 in stock in my shed ready for when these wear out :booty: :signLOL:

Khumo Ecstas aren't bad actually. Rainsports.......meh. Way too soft for hard summer driving. Squeal central with lashings of understeer.
The only thing I don't like about premium tyres is how quickly they 'go off' and start to tramline past half worn. Bridgestone got around that with a compound that got softer the more it wore down. The RE050A is pretty much the only tyre I've tried that feels consistent from day 1 to completely spent. Michelin have only just started using the same dual compound method, with the PS4 'S'.
Haha as much as I like stock piling, I wouldn't do that with tyres unless they get used within a year of manufacture. I bought a set of winters a few years ago, which are now like concrete from not being used.
People who say "tyres are tyres" drive slowly because usually they are equally tight with fuel, and bang on about mpg all the time. Ditchfinders are OK in slow land.....until you hit a patch of ice. But they try and convince themselves (and others) that £40 Ling Longs are just as good as ~£120 PS4s.

I had them insanely cheap - £120 for one pair and £100 for the other pair - Couldn't say no :signLOL:
Tyres will be inside in the warm over winter and the first pair will likely be fitted in the spring. I'm sure they will be ok :thinking:

Just check their DOT code before they go on, Dan. You shouldn't have problems unless they're stashed away for years!

They were brand new, 2017 dates. Will be fine :happy2:
