  1. I'm pretty sure it's the same as the one I've got on my car (I will check when I get home and confirm), if so it sounds very good for a budget zorst, nice throaty tone under heavy load but a tiny bit drony at cruising speed. Can't comment on any effect to performance though as it was on the car when I bought it. :thumbs:

  2. Having recently replaced the standard gear knob with a very pretty carbon fibre one from Tarmac, the handbrake now sticks out like a very ugly sore thumb. Anyone know of a decent one that i can replace it with? I have trawled ebay and all the other likely locations but no joy so far.

     

    Cheers! :thumbs:

  3. Came 4th in the evo 2012 tyre test if anybody is looking for comparisons

    3- Goodyear Eagle F1A 2

    2- Hankook Ventus S1

    1 -Continental ContiSportContact 3

     

    That was the Pilot Sport 3, not the Pilot Super Sport. The Super Sport would have won hands down I'm sure... :#1:

  4. I got a massive screw in a rear one

     

    There's a 'that's what she said' joke in there somewhere! :lol:

     

    Seriously though, thanks for the advice as ever guys, bought the Super Sports yesterday (£950 fitted on 18s) and I'm very impressed so far. Now I just need the weather to sort itself out for a day or two so I can actually use my right foot occasionally!

  5. After much deliberation (about 5 minutes :lol: ) I decided on the Pilot Super Sports all round. Having just completed a 200 mile journey I can state that they have completely transformed the feel of the Zed, to the point that they felt grippier and more composed in the wet (damp) today than the Bridgestone Potenzas did in the dry! Highly recommended! :)

  6. I suffered a spectacular blowout of one of my Bridgestone Potenzas on the motorway yesterday so I thought I'd take the opportunity to get some better rubber on the car as I don't really like the Potenzas. I am thinking about the Michelin Super Sports but before I fork out the £1k for a full set I thought I'd better make sure there isn't a cheaper tyre that will give comparable performance! :blush:

     

    Thanks guys, hope you all had a good Crimbo.
