The F1's have great grip and wear well! only tyres I'd fit, though i haven't tried the michelins, but i've found that the F1's work so why change  :laugh:

Got Yokohama Advan AD08 on mine and they are very impressive indeed (just not in the frost or snow or standing water come to think about it).

Other than that they are great  :happy2:
