Just looked at Merityre, the Michelin prices look good. Presumably the correct fit are the non-make specific ones for £266.19 (the other two listed are BWM and Merc fit) ? My Pireills are down to 3mm and terrible in cold damp conditions.

Don't think you need Y rating ( https://www.tyrespeedrating.co.uk/) although after writing this, I just checked my P Zeros & they are Y rated so it looks like you do need them as insurance companies look for any way out

Thanks again everyone. It’s all very confusing!

So, what would the exact model, specification & sizes be if I went for Michelin?

Much appreciated 👍

Just about to do the same.

However, Blackcirclees seem to be about the cheapest fitted on the drive, but don’t seem to have the Michelin 4S listed for the fronts.

My front Pirelli’s are fairly new (before I bought the car) but the rears are crap.
Don’t really want to chuck nearly new tyres away, but also don’t fancy different tyres front to back.

Edit - found them...

I've had Pirellis on the front and 4S's on the back - no problems.

Can get a full set of PS4's from Camskill for £822
As I'm having my wheels refurbed they can be fitted by the same guys.

Yep, same here.

...and it is Y rating you want.

Check Topix or the handbook - your insurance company will thank you for it if ever there's a need to claim.
