Mate dropped by and enquired for me.

Got you some prices on tyres,

205 50 15 V â€“ Michelin Exacto 2 - £70.48 each

195 50 15 V â€“ Michelin Exacto 2 - £45.81 each

225 45 16 V â€“ Michelin have stopped doing the this size in the tread types they order in, there should be a replacement in the next month for this tyre!

Iâ€™ll check on that one next time Iâ€™m in if you like, this is the only type of these tyres they did the Exacto 2 model.

The tread pattern is different on the different sizes,
you need to get the BFG's if you want the same tread pattern all round.

And IIRC the Michelin are a harder compound (ie - useless on a Liz)

I asked CostCo in EDI about BFG's a couple of weeks ago and got a flat no.

I think they quoted 90 odd quid for michelin rears in std S1 sizes. Like a polite Sun journalist, I made my excuses and left.

In the end I bought 2 x T1-R's from Ladybank Tyres for £88 each inc fitting etc. This was only £2 more expensive than Black Circles

I wouldn't bother with the Michelins, as this is what I have on the rear of the Exige (it's what it came with). I have done circa 6 track days, crail once and a few donoughts in an empty car park and they are still like brand new so they cannot be offering much in the way of grip.
