I thought you wanted all season instead of summer tires. Summer tires usually have a shorter lifespan than all season.

Also the following link seem to support this argument :

Many thanks again to all of you and will post in the future results I've found having had them on the car a while.

I'm not too bothered about top end performance, can't say I've more than 100mph in the car so having another set of tyres like the Pirelli P Zero 255/35 R19 Y which came with the car isn't really that necessary.

I've not been that happy with the Pirelli P Zero tyres as in the 2 years I've owned the car I've only managed 8,500 miles and almost due for replacement. I don't drive too harshly and keep the tyres inflated to the correct pressures and mainly carry out journeys around town.

Ideally I'm looking for tyres that will cover more distance before having to replaced again in future.

Dunlop Sport MAXX GT, of Course they are summer tires but they are the best that i have had and i have the same rims as you do steely
