Replaced the front tyres today, mileage 8500km, tyre pressure 2.2 bar. The tyres are completely worn out.
I mounted the rear Michelins 4s to drive down to the front, a Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport is now mounted at the rear, the same tyre will be mounted at the front when the Michelins are equally worn.
The Michelins are better everyday tyres, but for me as a sports tyre rather questionable. I had the best grip between 10-20 degrees outside temperature, above that, noticeably above 25 degrees, the tyres start to squeal, smear and slip. So they are actually unusable in summer. I only used them on the road, mainly in the Black Forest or similar very tight bends in Switzerland. I hardly ever drive on the motorway, I use the car purely for fun and not as a daily driver, not in the rain, not in winter.
Attached are pictures of the suspension setup and the front tyre, they both look the same.
Price/performance ratio of this tyre is not right for me at all, rather one of the worst I have driven in 31 years. It is questionable to me why the tyre is so often recommended and performs so well in the tests. Probably good marketing, good sponsoring and a lot of voodoo in various forums.
I'm curious to see how long the front tyre will last and how the Goodyear will perform in terms of mileage, handling and grip. However, mileage is rather secondary, as the GY costs less than half of the Michelin.
I should also mention that the first 4000 km were driven with the factory settings, after which Phil from Rötheli Racing readjusted the suspension, which had a positive effect on cornering, the car steers much better and is noticeably more playful to drive. On normal roads in normal mode, on winding roads in track mode.
