Default POS P-Zeros side wall failure

Bad news: while cleaning my car I find a two inch separation in the front tire side wall. Only 18k miles on the car ( I know and 4.5 years old ).

Good news: just ordered four Michelin PS4 tires to be mounted next Thursday !

Bad news: my wallet just lost $1126.55 pounds ( or $1430.00 USD)

now I need some good news !

The good news is that you will really enjoy the Michelin PS4's! Major upgrade in handling. I dumped my P-Zeros before I accepted delivery of my SVR and never regretted the change for one second...

NO. The good, nay great, news is he is driving an F-Type. Let’s not lose sight seeing the forest among the trees.

AWD, yes. If you have a RWD F definitely go with MSCup2s or R888Rs. My MP4Ss 305s break loose and get a little wonky up through 5th, but they are a big upgrade to passenger car P-Zeros. I still can't wait to upgrade them.

For adherence to form, that first word needs to be pronounced Britanically (last word spelling in keeping with that):

Jaguar F-Type
Sure-footed cat, yet hindered
By P-Zero tyres

But with those, avoid damp surfaces.

LOL. Hadn’t thought of that but true. It actually was a Caddy Shack reference given RickyJays BASHO comment. But both work.
