Gaaw he's bloody evasive isn't he. ::)

Ok, nice easy one. Which car? TFSE?
Obeying your rules, not commenting on the tyre until I know what its like over the life. They aren't that cheap, and I'd hate for someone to blow £700 on them, only to find that they are awful once half worn ;)

The Dunlops I mentioned are both 235/45/17, Y94
The GY are 235/40/18, forgot to check the sidewall for precise info.

Yes yes yeeees don't worry about all that, first impressions! You can do first impressions ... That's allowed. :y

What about noise...? Quieter than sc3 ? (Come on,  my rears are worn out, and need replacement imminently, even thought they are 265! My risk)

As you know, tyre noise is unimportant to me, so I don't pay much attention to it. They are definately, at this early stage, quieter than the Dunlop RTs on the Bullet.

I am due new tyres and was just going to get the GY Assym 2. But then realised I had given up my winters to Tunnie. So might get some all season tyres on. Unfortunately GY dont make the Vector 4 seasons in Omega size. Hence it may have to be the Hankook Optimo 4s.
