It's time for a new set of hoops again and thought to do a quick straw poll on what people are running on their cars.

I've gotten 20,000km from a set of Michelin PSS (rears, fronts have about 40% left) and am considering options. I'm running standard size 225/45/18 on all corners.

PSS I'm going to leave aside as I don't need something that grippy for what is predominately DD with a good chunk of highway use to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.

Shortlist at the moment is the Conti CSC5 and Falkan FK453 (which were recommended as being a standout and overlooked tyre. Lot of 997 drivers like these as a Michelin replacement). I was thinking of the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 which I've used on my previous BMW and quite liked. Likely going to try the Falkan hoops I reckon.

Love to read your thoughts on what's good for a 328i/335i at the moment. You can leave any RFT at the door however

Yokohama AD08R. Just don't drive them in the snow.

I have the Goodyear Eagle RFT from the factory on mine. only 15K km old.

The Conti SC5 is a good alternative to the PSS, it's ultimately not as grippy but it's better priced and still a standout performance tyre.

I don't rate the Falken FK453 as a performance tyre.

what do yo guys do for a spare wheel when you change from run flats to normal tyres.

Compressor and a bottle of goo in the boot.

It's not too late to change my mind. What is it about the tyre you didn't like? The reviews were quite strong (unlike the FK452 it replaced)

Ended up with a goods price on Michelin PS3s and went for those.

When I put some new Pirelli RFTs put on my 405s I was told that I can ONLY have RFTs.
(Something to do with the sensors?)

Is this true?

So many people talk about the ride/handling being better on normal tyres that I was thinking that's what I would do next.

True? No.

Ride and handling better? Yes. Think about getting a compressor in case you get a flat though, they're not expensive.
