Ok, first up I'm not in the Zed anymore (boo, hiss!), I have an S5 cab, so the wear might be slightly different to the zed.
Last year I put Goodyear F1's on the front and earlier this year I matched them with F1's on the rear.
I have just found out the front two are down to around 3mm and the passenger side one has two BIG eggs on the inside wall, so I need to at least change that one.
I always prefer to swap both sides at once, but the question is what with? On the Z4 the F1's lasted longer than a year, so I guess the S5 is harder on tyres.
I was looking at the PS3's, but people say they are noisier. I was also looking at the SuperSport, as I have heard good thing about them. As far as I can see all 3 tyres are excellent in terms of grip, so it's more noise and wear rate I am bothered about (wear rate in particular). The SS tyres actually have a mileage warranty in the US, but I don't think that is the case over here.
Obviously the SS are a bit more expensive, but to get just one year (prob 8-10k miles) from a tyre seems a bit bad to me.
There is the option of keeping with Goodyear and keeping the non damaged tyre as a spare, but I'm still confused as to what to go for.
Interested to hear your thoughts and experiences.
