I don’t get it, how is that courtesy? I’d be more worried about a car in traffic going dark!

Cities are bright enough to see so they drop the lights that otherwise shine in the eyes of other drivers, pedestrians, cats, dogs, deer, woolly mammoths etc.

Popped a tyre on my car on Tuesday night so now i am looking for 2 maybe 4 tyres. They are 245/40R19s on a Conformadore wagon. Kinda freaked when I looked up the price for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Directional 5 on it. Seems this will be my first time paying around $300 per tyre.
Any suggestions as to what a middle age man in a 10 year old car should be looking at for a reasonable all round tyre? There seems to be a few Michelin fans in this thread.

Pirelli Dragon Sports are a good time, and pretty limpet like in the wet.

Get some 18s for it - cheaper tyres that will last longer and ride better
Anything in those sizes from michelin/conti/goodyear/pirelli/yoko etc will be high performance and be very good.
I can't remember when I paid $300 a tyre, would be 20 years ago...
Watch the weight even with the load correct load rating, I found conti 5s and 6s and Pirelli P zeroes too soft. Bridgestone or Michelin. The PS 4 has been superseded by the 5 so you might get a deal. Note 4 not 4S.
Depends how much performance / life you are after. I can't advise on the latter.

LOL, I had some decent Kumhos on the i30N and got 7,500kms out of them. $750 for 2.
Pirelli PZero lasted 13,500kms and blew.
Michelin PS 4S didn't last much longer.

i get the feeling the tyre isn't to blame here!

P Zero - definitely. Kumho, I really didn't flog the car, it was weird

Heavy and powerful FWD cars just eat front tyres. I'll be lucky to get the factory Bridgestones on the Alfa to 30K kms and thats a pretty tame touring tyre. Thankfully not $300 tyres...

He's made another one. Probably even nicer looking than the T.50

Paid the insurance - $950 for $23K market value, when a mate with 2022 Forster with a market value of 36K is charged $500...
Subarus are not exactly cheap for parts, and a VW Golf similar spec to the Alfa is still $850 to insure so its not a "alfa drivers are hoons". Guess its just a "its euro it must be premium" bullshit again....

Not bad.

Having driven in Italy, can confirm that nobody expects you to drive any other way on the backroads.
Although he could at least put some effort into his downshifts.

Can confirm. Great fun driving in Italy if you can deal with the adrenaline!
