Hi All,
My car came with Pirelli Pzero rubber all round, which are fine, however I am keen to try out MPS4S that everyone raves about.
The problem I have is the different wear rates front to rear on my C2. I get through about 2.3 pairs of rear rubber to one pair of fronts.
My front Pirelli's are finally due replacement, however the rears have over 3.5mm remaining.
I see three options:
1) Replace fronts with Pzero to match rears, wait another 2 years for them to go, and hope that rears need changing at same time.
2) Change all four tyres now (wasting perfectly good rears - I doubt many people would be interested in buying part-worn)
3) Go with Michelin fronts until mid summer when my rears need to be changed
I am tempted to go with 3).
I know this is far from ideal, but has anybody mixed front to rear? I'm looking for real world experience here.
I'm considering getting some instruction on track to improve my driving. Will this be a good way to finish off the rears, or will the on-limit handling be completely out with Michelin front and Pirelli rear?
Advice gratefully received, thanks in advance
