Title: 1999 PFL MV6 tyre brand when new
Post by: woolley11 on 25 April 2023, 07:28:40

Just thinking of getting my MV6 taxed and on road

I need 4 new tyres and as car totally original thought I’d treat it to as near a match I could to original tyres when new.

What brand and style were they back then. Obviously won’t be exact as manufacturers enhance and change styles but would be good to know like 4 like

I think round and black is the main criteria on here.  :D

I think from that era they came with Michelin Pilot Sport 2, good initial grip, then turns to plastic, and lasts a billion miles.  Obviously no longer available, and the current Pilot Sport 4S is a very different (and decent) tyre, if not the most long lasting
