Look at Goodyear's assy2 as suggested,Paul, but also try Vredesteins,which are a great tyre too.
Try Camskill for them or Oponeo,usually use Camskill as very quick delivery compared to Oponeo etc i have found.
Hope that helps

Hiya Paul,
Good prices on TYRELEADER
or I use Black Circles - where you can organise to have tyres delivered and fitted at a choice of your local garages.
Check all suppliers out as they sometimes have special offers and prices can be surprisingly different - also be certain that they have the tyres in supply before buying (normally mentioned on drop down lists)
I've just done a deal with a local supplier to meet Tyre Leader prices - couldn't meet Michelin prices but beat them on the GoodYears by just over £40. Worth considering doing as well if you want to spend your money at a local dealers. . .
Good Luck

https://www.event-tyres.co.uk/ and http://www.etyres.co.uk/ are good places for guide prices.
I've used both many times. Much easier as they come to you, at home or work.

Well - best laid plans . . . tyre fitter can only source GoodYear Assymetric 2s for the rear but not for the front in the M sizes. Don't fancy A2s and A3s mixed even if same axles same, so back to sourcing Michelin Pilot Super Sports and give them a try . . .
Hope you're having better luck Paul.

MPSS are being superseded by the MPS4S. There are some reviews on the internet but annoyingly for 224 wheel owners only in 19". The MPS4 non S are availablein 18" but these don't get anywhere near as good a write up.paulgs1000 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2017 11:00 pm so back to sourcing Michelin Pilot Super Sports and give them a try . . .
From other threads MPSS getting scarcer especially for the fronts. I think by next year when I have to replace I may have my reason to get 19"

Roger that - Best I've been able to find is 225/45/ZR18 95Y XL for fronts - will have to check if the XLs are suitable fitment.AlfaScozzesi wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2017 11:15 pmMPSS are being superseded by the MPS4S.

XL are fine, and was all that was originally available in M sizes.paulgs1000 wrote:Roger that - Best I've been able to find is 225/45/ZR18 95Y XL for fronts - will have to check if the XLs are suitable fitment.
Only difference is a harder sidewall.

I also had OEM new condition Bridgestone Potenza RunFlats on my 2007 3.0 with only 16000 total summer miles, and decided that ten years was past the "best-before" date. I purchased Michelin 225/45R17 94 V Pilot Sport A/S3+ this week, but have not yet had an opportunity to really check out performance. (I got stuck behind a school bus on the way home from the tyre shop) But something that was rattling on the way to the shop was quiet on the return trip, so it is definitely a smoother ride.
