Anyone got any opinions on the above?? Need to replace all 4 tyres on the 6 soon and I'm keen to stick to the size Peugeot designed the car for. Pe2s look good but £££ and some concerns over sidewall
Stiffness.

Had them on the front of my car and PE2's on the rear,would understeer pretty easily TBH So that made me think they are not a patch on PE2's  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Makes sense. They got pretty good reviews on tyrereviews.co.uk so thought I'd ask!Trouble with review sites is it's all relative to what tyre the reviewer had last, rather than being scientific! |

They're f*cking amazing in the wet. Got them on my 205.Would agree with the understeeriness, but it could well be to do with my suspension setup on the front, which was a bit pants at the time. ________________________________________ 205 GTI6- Rebuilt engine, lightened flywheel, lightened pulley, 307 hdi brakes, Koni struts on gravel spec springs, 22mm TB's, 24mm ARB, Roll cage, Citreon ZX rear dampers, SL434's, Xsara box, Quickrack, Pipercross enclosed induction kit.

Might give them a try then. If they're crap it's a good enough excuse to do a few track days and then replace with something more appropriate! |

I have used them before (not on the 306) and thought that they were good, I had them from new and only did 1k or so on them but the grip dry and wet was decent.I would compare them to T1-R but better in the wet and without the sidewalls of cheese and rapid wear rate. ________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

I've heard nothing but good things about these too, never going to be as good as PE2's though as you get what you pay for but one of the better tyres in that price bracket  ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

I had them on my 205 track car for a trip to the ring, was very impressed with them for the cost |
