Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these or know of anyone that's heard good things about them? The chap I bought the car off of swore by them? And I was using them close to the legal limit for a few weeks and even still the grip was fantastic. I am just wondering If anyone had any other thoughts.

I'd get them for £86-ish fitted.

Brian

for that much cash, you would probably get a 55 profile michelin.

PE2's defy physics ... the best solution for 195 55's. Expensive but worth it.

I know they're expensive, I had them in mind...might get my work to price them up instead. The previous owner was really happy with the p7's so thought i'd get other opinions. I had a short moment with them myself but only when they had about 2mm of tread on them though!

PE2s you can get for £55 in a 50 profile, but there £100 in a 55. Are 50 profiles really that bad?!

Depends whether you want your car to look slightly under-tyred, higher revs for the gear you are in meaning the speedo over-reads and you use more fuel.

Doesn't bother some people, but personally I'd rather stick to the correct tyre size.
