:clap: This is my first posting so here goes, I need to change the tyres on my 1999/00 classic se v70. It was supplied with p6000's and they as you can see have lasted well.I've covered just under 54000 miles on them and to be honest ,I'm needing to change them soon. Has anyone had any experiences with Michelin pilot tyres? Has anyone had problems with road noise,poor durability,understeer when wet or are they an O.K sort of tyre to use? Any comments would be welcome, thanks, Matt Oswin P.s The car is just a bog standard 140bhp non turbo wet nappy.(sorry dieper)
