Supersports are only available in limited sizes. If you have M-car alloys you may have a chance.

PS3 and Contisport 5 are good prices at the mo. Both good alternatives.

£30 cheaper per tyre than to what I paid last year for a pair of PS3s

It is a toss up between the PS3's, Asymmetric 2's and Conti 5's at the minute. Surprising prices compared to what I'd thought I may pay. And get rid of the runflats too!

I changed to non-runflat hankooks from tyre leader and my lci 320d is now a pleasure to drive. handles better, rides better and even tyre wear.

I've plumbed for the Pilot Sport 3's in the end. Ordered from Oponeo yesterday as they couldn't be beaten on price with free delivery too. £438 all in (£94 front, £125 rear).

See what they're like when I *ahem* bed them in

Cool

I'm just getting the new tyres fitted and had a look to seexwyatcwoukd be the best pressures to run at. But the sticker inside my door (below) shows different weight combinations so I'm a little flummoxed.

My tyres are 92Y front and 94Y rear (non runflat), so would 2.4/2.8 be better over current 2.2/2.5 (Runflat)?

225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear.
