Summer tires

Hi all !


I will purchase a new set of summer tires (as soon as I would have bought my set of 18" VMR VB3) because of spring which is coming (no more cold temperatures and no more snow in my country ).
I'm on stock M suspension.

I had Pirelli PZero (Runflats in 205/50 front and 225/45 rear) on my previous 17" summer set. Those were great tires .


But now, I've to buy some new. I thought about (all in 225/40 front and 255/35 rear) :
- Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (but very, very and very expensive ...)
- Pirelli PZero
- Toyo T1Sport
- Hankook Ventus V12 (K110)
I've never tested those two last brands and I could hear when I've talked about them, they are cheap and not quality products.


I want grip and doing lots of kilometers (I've done 30 000km and there is still 3mm of tires rear, 4mm front on my old PZero).
The Michelin have the Michelin OnWay assistance, is it interesting ?


Which one would you recommend me to buy ?


Thanks a lot for your responses mates

I've got the new Toyo T1-Sports on my supercharged MX-5 and have enjoyed them a lot in the second half of summer 2011, inclusive of one track day and an autoslalom.

Toyo set their sights on the new Michelins and have done very well. Tire rack doesn't carry them, thus your main source of comparison testing comes up with zilch of this choice.

Salut (en Français, ça nous changera)

Je vais me prendre les Hankook, ils étaient dans le top 5 des tests de pneus pour propulsion d'EVO.
Je terminerai avant mes Falken FK-452 avant qui d'ailleurs sont pas mal.
