Me! I’m on the second set of generic front P zeros, and third set of rears. 36000 miles. There is no detectable difference to my mind. Although it’s quite a while since it had its original tyres, and I’ve just replaced generic with generic.

No bad habits to report, but I don’t thrash it around public roads and never done a track day. As far as I’m concerned it’s not going to make any difference to an average driver.

Just a reminder that this thread isn't a contest to see how many times you can use the word "s****y".
I've just cleaned up the "s**t" so no more thanks.

Unless there the same price I will stick with the generic p zero's, not entering any races in the near future so don't think I need the extra edge these car specific tyres may give you.

I found the extra edge the J marked Dunlop tyre gave me was twice the mileage on my XKR! And no diference in price - it's not like you pay a massive premium for the extra letter on the sidewall, IME.

...and just to throw a spanner int he works...Our XFS had the dreaded Dunflops on OEM spec.
SWMBO had the car shod in P0's all round (I was cringing, but couldn't do much as I was away working). Surprisingly, the P0's are leaps and bounds ahead of the Dunflops.

I think it's more to do with, which tyre brand suits the car by trial and error.
On that premise I would steer clear of P0's for the F as the Michs seems to suit that model in many ways.
