hi i have a 2013 v6s fitted with p zeros all round,new fronts, 5mm left on rears,i was driving on the m3 at winchester around a minimal curve in the road in the rain about 65 mph when the thing spun out of control and ended up on the verge,has anyone else had a similar experience?
Lucky escape. Glad your OK. Slow down. Lucky your first post is not of a bent F-TYPE going up kerbs and grass verges at 65mph scaryftype
I'm below 3mm. All OK here. Was really surprised how sideways you can get it on the Skid pan at Fen End and it won't spin and how slowly and gradually it steps out.

I read somewhere that new tyres are always put on the rear, when cars have the same size wheels each end. Presumably because the new tyres are more grippy and can create a pendulum effect.
P zeros should be OK with 5mn. Although I found after 3 years and not much more worn than that, my rears were like slicks in the wet at low temperatures (circa 7 degrees ).

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are readily available off the shelf for all Ftype OEM 20" size alloys
Heard about people struggling when looking to fit on 19"s (One of the sizes, either front of back sorry cant remember which, Michelin do not make) - in this case, people have gone for Michelin Pilot Sport 4's (non 'S')
OP - stick to your current tyre sizes, wouldnt advise messing around with stretching tyres/increasing sizes. It's not really needed in my opinion

Yes, that's why some people (including me) have gone for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 (non 'S') on the fronts, which are excellent.
+1 for that!

Eagle f1 supersports going on mine (rears) this weekend as a bit scared of the slippy rear end on the pirellis. Looked at lots of reviews eagle vs michelin and concluded minimal difference except price
