Renault R8 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S given 93% (245-35-19-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 500 spirited miles
Changed out from Bridgestone S001 to PS4 S, better in every respect.

Writing about the Bridgestone Turanza T001 given 0% (185-60-14-)

185/60-14 is a bit of an obsolescent size in Australia & these seemed the best of a bad available bunch as rears for my R8. My main criterion was lateral wet grip as I assumed (from past experience with other tyres) that any sloppiness of structure could be compensated for by increased pressure. The poor test results on wet braking didn't concern me as the rear of the R8 has no tendency to lock up.
They grip well in the wet & in the dry but have a frighteningly sloppy structure. Nor was that able to be tautened adequately by increased pressure. I ended up modifying the rear suspension to better suit the tyres (softer springs for less weight transfer & more-ve camber) & it's now an acceptable situation but I'll not buy again.
Not recommended for anyone who wants even a vague approximation of a taut structure.
