Mark - have you noticed a pattern here? Anybody who dares disagree with the tyre companies - and they've changed their tune in the last decade - is quite obviously barking mad, lying and-or a clueless muppet...
FWIW, Depresion, I immediately noticed a big difference between Michelin Pilot Exaltos and the subtly cheaper Pilot Primacies on the front of my XM. I noticed absolutely NO difference when I changed the backs from off-brand pooe to the Exaltos.
On a CX in the past, I did roughly 50 miles with a set of some off-brand Korean pooe on the front - it was lethally undrivable. I've had remould mud'n'snows that were barely even round on the back - one of which was missing a chunk of tread the size of your hand - and hardly noticed a difference.
On 2cvs, you can immediately tell the difference between the recommended 20psi in the front and (vastly preferable) 26psi. On the back, I've had flats and the only symptom to the driver is a slight increase in road noise, a little bit of weave at speed and slightly odd handling round corners when the flat rear's on the outside.

You, on the other hand, are accusing me of being a lying f***wit.
