Kev T 210 Report post Posted December 1, 2019 With another service and MOT looming soon and my current MPSS down to around 2.5mm i decided it was time to change despite the Growler being a garage Queen over winter, so having read many reviews and posts i have decided on the MPS4s as the best all rounder for me. I went with e tyres as they have 10% off over this weekend and went for a size up as they are currently available, so 255/35/19 and 285/19/35 for a reasonable 733. good old English pounds fitted this coming Friday at a local Tyre fitters I have great expectations of these tyres as the older MPSS were great !

OP you wont be disappointed you just need to blast a bit of the tread block off I found them a little unsettling at first and when I spoke to centre gravity they confirmed it was these tyres when new ! Get a few miles on them tho and they come into there own and hang on for grim death Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marzman 771 Report post Posted December 1, 2019 What are peoples thoughts on Goodyear Eagle F1 A2's compared with MPS4S's? I've been running part worn MPS4S's on my Mustang for the last 7k miles but they're ready to be swapped again, but I cant find any part worns, and dont really want to pay £450 for a pair. The Goodyear's are waaay cheaper, at about £120 each... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll leave that to our forum tyre guru, but as a rule why do you think things half the cost are that cost? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ekona 10,207 Report post Posted December 2, 2019 I hate the eagle F1s, so may not be best placed to comment for a change wet feeling on them is atrocious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kev T 210 Report post Posted December 6, 2019 Ok then i have had the new MPS4s fitted this morning and first impressions are very good, they feel planted and very confidence inspiring from cold, they also seem quieter than the MPSS as well. I liked the old MPSS but did find that particularly when cold they would tramline on uneven surfaces which the MPS4s do not, of course the ultimate test will be a track day which will not be until the spring at the earliest but at the moment i would certainly recommend them .

Ekona 10,207 Report post Posted December 6, 2019 I’ve nearly killed off my first set of rears after 20k miles, still love them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marzman 771 Report post Posted December 6, 2019 I had Goodyear Eagle F1's A1s on my Zed for a while before replacing with MPS2's. The MPS2's were definitely an improvement on track, but on the road i can't honestly say I felt any difference. Im going to hold out for the MPS4's on the mustang though, as it feels a bit sacrilegious to but anything else on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ekona 10,207 Report post Posted December 7, 2019 Surely you’d put MPS4S on the Stang? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rabbitstew 888 Report post Posted December 9, 2019 MPS4S`s are awesome. I got 25,000 miles out of mine on the 911 turbo and promptly replaced them with the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
