Asymmetric F1 Goodyear or Michelin PS-2 for 5 series?

[nicholas_foo]

Hello friends I was told to get F1 Asymmetric Goodyear for my 5 series (2006 model) by my mechanic who used to serviced my company's car. I was told this is very comfortable and quietest in this category. The only thing is he is basing his driving experience on a Mercedes Benz E240 (2005 model) who changed to that from Michelin PP2. He said the car became much quieter, more smoother feeling and greater grip.But as always, PS-2 has been generally recommended by enthusiasts.But this is a more than 3 years old tyre model. There are rife rumours in some of the American forums that Michelin PS 3 is due end of the year or early next year.Which to choose? :wink:

go for the Pilot Sport 2. high end feel when driving.

I wud not take the F1 ever again. Just too damn noisy after 2 months. But my F1 was not assymetric type.

Another spanner in the works for you... comparing ANY decent brand new tyre on a car against its previous old, hardened and worn out tyres will of course be quieter, gripper and smoother.

This thread is useful, if you haven't already read it.
