Title: Just ordered some Michelin PS3's
Post by: scotta on April 01, 2010, 01:49:37 pm
Attempted to order some Eagle F1 Aysymetrics but they are on back order from goodyear apparently - ETA over a month.

Decided to go with the PS3's as it michys on the car already.

Anyone got veiws on the PS3? Better than the standard fit Exaltos?

PS2s are better than Exaltos (had exaltos and then fitted PS2s). More traction and less wheelspin

Where did you buy them and how much did you pay? I'm on the hunt for PS3s as well.

PS3's are a good step up from the PS2's, I have had 4 fitted to my Mk6 for the past three weeks and in all weather conditions (more so the wet) they are a top class  :happy2:

I ordered 2 x Michelin Pilot Sport 3 225/45 R17 W (94) for the front from Blackcircles, used discount code BCMHMAR56 and got 3% discount.  Paid £229, with mobile fitter coming to my house.  Order on hold.

Obviously don't need them as I have no car to put them on :sad1:

Got a set of the new Toyo R1R's the other day, claim to be good in standing water unlike the R888's, and better than the T1R.

They look nice anyway  :happy2:

Well after a few miles under them i must say im quite impressed with the PS3's - better traction in the dry than the Exaltos and infinatelly better in the wet. Seem to bite a bit harder on turn in also.
