from my own experience..

the S have more grip in dry and wet... BUT

the R have a harder sidewall and longer life.

you cant really tell the difference unless you are going to the limit

The best tyres (imo) are the Good Year F1s

Darren, Michelin Pilot Sport 2's are excellent. Go & see if Costo are still doing a deal on them, it was 20% off a set iirc.

If you get the wrong load rating that can happen. Scoob requires XL / 92Y

I have mate if you need to borrow it. I would need to be there when you purchased them but I am sure I could help if needed. Or you could join, £25 per year!
