MMC are doing 10% off of list for SE members when ordering tyres, see the offers section.

A048s will be a waste of cash if for road use only - switch to something moer road (and winter) friendly. Pagids are good and decent brakes are useful always, not just on track

i did think bout other tyres jj but to be honest i love the advans so much in the dry , and i know it sounds daft but i love the way they look because they are so slick like . Are there any other tyres with same tread ?

Toyo R888s look similar.

I had a039s on my exige and they were awesome in the dry/damp/on track, good allround.

I`d be more worried about how good they are at driving through puddles than how they look

if its a road car, just get AD07's. i have much more fun in my car when i'm, going slower with less grip. 48's are a waste of time.

well i have roughyl bout 2000 miles left on current tyres , ahh puddles ! had few scary moments with the advans but i am gonna try and make a point of not driving it in the rain throughout winter , will be hard though

you would be better off with tyres that dont look as cool and be able to use your car - i changed to 39s this time last year and even managed a new year roadtrip to dublin in sh*t weather, no winter garage queens here

You might find AD07's on back order

I tried to get a front tyre yesterday and it looks like it will be several weeks before they are in stock again. Eliseparts had them in stock

but think I got the last they had.

Pagids definitely because the car's worth it
