After replacing the original Avon ZZ3s with new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres, gently scrubbing them in for 100 miles I have just returned from some spirited driving on some regularly driven roads.
The difference in dry grip, feel and accuracy is as night and day. I now feel that I'm more in control of the car and know what it is doing than was ever the case with the ZZ3s.
Time for a bit of Car Limits training I think!

PS4S vs Conti
Wet weather absolutely no comparison. Fabulous grip which has given me alot of confidence driving the car in the wet. Even drove a few days earlier this year in the snow, carefully of course but with no issues whatsoever.
In the dry, rather than rear wheels spinning and finally getting grip they start to grip immediately with the LSD kicking in, really can feel the outside wheel gripping the road. Car feels better in the corners with less front end movement, tail out is still there but far less than before.
I'm no expert but I can honestly say despite all the mods and upgrades I have done to any car I have owned, these tyres have made the biggest difference to the driving feeling and experience.
Just hope they last longer than the 11k, I got out of the Conti's (currently 10k so far & still feeling good) as they are a little bit expensive..
