which would you get

michelin pilot exalto 2 or continental premium contact 2's

I have star performer remoulds on at the moment which are far from great!

I had the michelens on my clio 182 and they were fantastic but i have been 'advised' by a mate that the conti's are better.

anyone got any experience or suggestions on tyre choices?

all help much appreciated!

neither of the above,

in my personal opinion has to be,

F1's or
the dunlop sp 9000 seem to be quite good all rounder

or yokohama's

all depends on how you drive your chariot
M50 Turbo!!! :o I shall say no more :D

only had it a month done about 1500 miles all motorway and around town, nothing spirited.

however doing a tour of the welsh mountian roads over easter with an elise and a tvr so im sure i will have found a driving style by the end of that!

had looked at the dunlops as well and the bonus woth them is they tend to be a bit cheaper than the above!

anyone else got any suggestions?

Neither
I'd get Goodyear Eagle F1s if you can get them in the size you want or Bridgestone RE720

Do a search on here, I posted a site a month or 2 back with comparisons of lots of tyres
Cheers,
Robin

If you have the £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£s

1. Bridgestone
2. Eagle F1
3. Yokos.

100. Any Pirelli!
