After the Alp tour, my rear tyres now almost lost the "s" on the sides of the running surface.
The centre groove is still 3,5-4mm , so I think I can drive another 8000km's , slowing down in the wet to 100kmh..

But after the next trip [ november Southern Portugal & return ], it will be 25.000km.. Maybe wise to put new ones before winter starts.. :P

I wanted to defer by choosing the Vredenstein Ultra Vortice..

But after this test I wisely stay with the MP S4S...

Especially as, despite the best combined score in the test by some way, it was only placed second - go figure!

Strange enough, this recent test from a German car magazine gives a complete other result...

The P-Zero's are also in this test, not in the first..

The two tests are with different cars, wheel sizes and tyre models (example S4 vs S4S), so not really direct compareable...

the only result you could trust is if it was carried out on an F Type, by an independent.

Conclusion
A premium tyre is worth the money over a budget tyre if you value steering and braking, which probably equates to living if fitted to an F Type

Cost is not the issue ; pricing about equal..
