ATB.. but I say Viva Michelin!!

no problem, glad you found it informative. it is interesting to see how well the michelin does in the dry. I only really 'push-on' in the dry, never been to drive hard in the wet, this is where the michelins score for me. although you need to know the results for any potential emergency situations in wet conditions.

I do like the Bridgestones in terms of quality of construction and wear rate from my experience of the s02's. Both are at the higher cost end though.
