Just a short post to say a little about the tyres I'm running at the moment.

Since new in 2005, and for several sets I've stuck with Michelin PS2's, so this time I though I'd try out the slightly cheaper Bridgestone Potenza RE050A N1

I've waited a while before posting my findings. I feel that the PS2 seemed more precise and had better lateral grip. Obviously changing from an end-of-life tyre to a new one, the new set is quieter, but I'd say that after run-in they are about the same in most other areas. Maybe a little less confidence in braking, a little more compliant and quieter maybe... It's hard.

But in an instance of going on, around, and off a roundabout, the Potenza feels less keen to change direction and stick to the tarmac than the PS2s did.
