Second pair of Super Sports arrived today. 108quid a piece, which is less than I pair for for the first 2.  :happy2:

2 are 2013 so those will go on the front and the 2014 ones will go on the rear



Getting them fitted friday probably.

Just had the Super Sports fitted today... too early to say what they are like but initial "F1 style tyre warmups" seem to give good feedback. They ride nice too, but new tyres always feel better/quieter.

Mine arrived this morning. Can't wait to get them fitted  :jumpmove:

I've got Goodyear Efficient Grip on at the moment with around 2mm of tread and TBH they are immense  :surprised: will put 230bhp down in 2nd on a wet road without the slightest slip. Very impressed with these

If the PSS are better then I'd be amazed

So far the tyres are great... loving the slightly stiffer nature of them.

R32 are perfectly big enough.  :happy2:

I was convinced I read you were now finding them inadequate in certain situations and getting 4 pots on the 32 discs...

Crazy idea.  :signLOL:

Oh really? ;)

Looking forward to your review of those lovely looking Brembo brakes.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

I'll need new tyres soon for the Prets for the R, it's a toss up between Pirelli P Zero, Conti 5s and these man. Interested to hear your thoughts as they're the most expensive out of the 3 in a 19".

Has to be the SS's for me.  I've used the other two and preferred the SS's.
