I've got the Contact 2s on mine - seem to be fine in dry & wet so far, done 10k and wear appears to be pretty decent too

Hae to say i've never had a problem (touch rubber!) with the Michelin Pilot's that came as standard, mind you, only had them for a couple of weeks from new......Am i the only one who thinks they're ok?!

I think they're good. But I haven't had anything else to compare to. Would like some Yokohama's when it comes to replacing them though...

As I dont get my new vRs until September, I was wondering, reading this thread, what tyres I'm likely to get?

The showroom model had Continental (Poor wear rate (Experience) and the demo had Michelin Pilots (Better wear rate)

I favour Khumo Sports Ecsta . Very good grip and wear and 1/2th price of Conti's

You could probably ask the dealer to fit the ones you want. Depends what you want from your tyres. If you want them to last, then the Michelins wear slower but are noisy and grip poorly in the wet. Continentals won't last as long but will grip better. If I'd known I would have asked for the Contis. I took my Michelins off after about 2,000 miles and sold them to buy a set of Kumho 712s which are better in the wet, better in the dry and quieter than the michelins. The wear rate doesn't seem too bad either.

I got Bridgestone Turanza ER30s (car is three weeks old), the demo cars I saw had Michelin Pilot Primacy's or Conti SportContact2 on them.

The Bridgestone's grip well, but they're damn noisy. Can't comment what the wear rate is like.

Where do people get their tyres from? There seems to be very few places to go nowadays, theres qwickfit and justtyres locally but do people go to other places? Or do people tend to buy tyres seperately and then get them fitted?

My fronts are very low so need to start thinking of changing them very soon, and wondered what others do.

I usually source mine off the internet and get a local place to fit them, usually works out cheaper. Best places online IMO are mytyres.co.uk, topgear.co.uk and ebay. Blackcircles and some of the others carry a wide range but usually bend you over on the price.
