funnily enough I'll need a new front on the S4 before the end of the month, it'll be another Storm 2, as the last done just over 10k, in the last couple of months I've also replaced both on the pegaso the front having done 15k and the rear just over 11k, admittedly the Pegaso makes power more gently but that's still pretty impressive in my book.

I agree you can feel the edge between the two compounds, but it's obvious and easy to predict, I've never had an issue with grip and given my mileage they still remain the best value for money mile on mile.

Cheers Mark
