AWESOME
On the way back from the meet today some tool in a A4 was on my ass, i didnt have anywhere near the power to beat him on the straights or on the easy coners but on the roundabouts and the tight bends WOW the pirellis stuck like shit to a blanket
it was wet aswell, where my old dunlops had the whole car snaking on the same roundabouts there was no hint of it!
since the 17s i thought the handling had gone down hill but after pushing the tyres today for the first real time i now know what a difference they make!

Agreed. Not so good in soaking conditions tho (not that you have to worry about that!!!!!!), hard to get hold of and are only in limited sizes!
(Please someone say Im wrong on the last two points! Struggling my arse off getting some 205/45/17's at the moment!!!)

Cars are made to be driven, and look good with scratches and chips

slightly better because there is less tyre for it to 'fold' going around corners.

if you need that extra clearence in the archs to avoid scrubbing then the 195s are worth their weight in gold!
