Tyres

[hunttheshunt]

Ok I know it's not for a Noble and therefore somewhat difficult to advise, but I need to replace the Conti Sport 2's on my M6. Personally I think they are a little too 'jack of all trades'!

I believe the options I have are Michelin Pilot Sport 2's (had these put on the CSL for winter and they feel a little 'tippy toes') or fit PZero Rosso Corsa's. My only concern with the Corsa's is that I do need to drive it during the winter and I don't want to be lobbing it off the road at the first sign of ice/water.

Anyone got experience of either on their Noble???

What pressures were you running on the PS2? I really rate them on the CSL for a normal road tyre, the missus runs them on her R32 too, and a mates Boxster, they are great in the wet.

Which Corsa is it as there are a few aren't there? Dan had the Corsa Systems on his RS I think.

Hmm unless I'm mistaken the tyres on the CSL are straight Pilot Sport's and not the PS2's, there is no mention of a 2 anywhere. My friend decided to replace the Cups with these for the winter but as I say they feel tippy. Could be the pressures though.

Looks like it might have to be PS2's for the M6. The Pirelli's are the PZero Corsa System direzionale for the front, and asimmetrico for the rear but they (the disties) don't seem to offer them in the right sizes even though the Pirelli site quotes them.

On the PS2's there seem to be the standard tyres and the Y rated versions, so looks like it might be those if I can't fit the Corsas' Probably best for winter anyway

Shame, I'd like the Corsa's, all the press cars ran with them!

Don't think the PS2 state 2 on them anywhere but the pattern is very different to the PS1 which they replaced.

They do an XL version with stiffer sidewalls which is the one I use.

Try Toyo 888's, on my Renault I even liked them in the wet, I think sombody on here has tried them on a Noble as well.

They don't to the R888 in a 19" wheel though, and I think the M6 is running on 19s?

The only semi slick I've found in 19" sizes is the cups.

[hunttheshunt]

Oooh Cups are available in 19's??? Any ideas where from. Tried the usual, Micheldever, Elite, Blackcircles...s.truggling to get the PS2's.

[hunttheshunt]

Doh....the CSL's are 19's......always think of them as 18's!!

[m12_nathan]

CSL sizes but the new GT3 also comes on cups I think, and they have a wider rear if that helps you?

Do you have a costco near you? The always seem to do PS2 cheap and if you order them in now you can pick them up in november when they have 20% off if you buy a set of 4. Guy here just got 4 PS2 XL rears for his M3 for £140+vat - 20% each! Bargain.

Pus Po Rossos on mine the other day.

Experiences so far - make the car feel much more stable in corners than the SO3s some UNDERSTEER (must check pressures) in the wet but nice & progressive.

Overall not bad at all

BTW £585 fitted.
