Michelins only though, but the PS3s last a LOT longer than the F1s I have found, perfect for us high mileage types :happy2:
-
gutted i cant get them from there, i am going to be needing tyres in the next couple of weeks.
do you have to be a registered business to get membership???
any idea how much 4 x michelin ps3 are in 225 40 18????
-
do they sell winter tyres?
-

No, you don't have to be a business.
To join you need a few pieces of ID with your address and a passport picture.

They should also be able to get you Michelin Alpins, they might need to order them in for you but they should take too long.
I has to order a set of 265 30 19's in and they were in stock within the week so I would imagine the Alpins would be the same (provided Michelin UK has them in stock).

I paid £480 all in and fitted for mine :happy2:
-

Yeah, my local centre has Alpin's in the popular sizes :happy2:
-
do they sell winter tyres?
Yes they do - advertising them at both of the Costco's I use - Manchester & Haydock
-
yes but winter tyres aint on the 20% deal asked last week
-
Are ps2 better than ps3 in terms of grip?
-
I didn't think so Rich. The PS3's are also harder wearing.
-
What are the cons if any if I buy these tyres now and don't use them until next spring? Will they degrade over time? Best means of storing unused tyres?
thanks

Ohh ok. I'm not that fussed about wear, I want grip. :-)
-
I've bought them and stored them before now.
Wouldn't let the twats fit them to my car after they fooked 2 of my Ed's wheels in Reading..... :fighting:

They would be fine until then in my opinion, try and store them in doors or at least in the dry with constant temp. :happy2:

Never had ps2 on the '30 but did have them on the A3 and i dont remember them being 'that' much different than the ps3s i have now tbh...

store them so they are standing up--a tyre has a shelf live of 4 years before its binned

Thanks Steve, well worth noting :happy2:

Sounds like they have forgot to apply the 20% discount? :fighting:

Says on my receipt they have applied it plus when i inquired i can remeber him coming out with a price of over £200 per tyre. :booty:
Going to ring a different store tomorrow for a quote, then ring them back and get another quote. :wink:
-
You've got 45 profile tyres TC, the others have 40 profile.
So different price ??

Considered that, but £150ish is a lot for 5 mil of tyre. :fighting:

I was in the Chester one earlier and 225/40/18 are £156 inc vat per tyre before discount, wonder if they have charged you for 235/40/18 as they come in at £200+ per tyre before discount?
-
Just looked on black circles TC £46 difference per tyre so maybe it is down to that!

Aye maybez, will find out tomorrow. I did a quick check on other tyre websites, and other decent brands in the same size were coming in at 200+ so i just thought i would bite the bullet.
I wouldn't mind but i had a company, driver safety course with an ex Copper on Thursday which really hit home so i thought fook it i will replace all 4 tyres for her even though she only needs 2. I was driving home thinking she had 17in wheels and i could escape with a bill of about £400ish. :laugh:

Hmm just my luck then :fighting: Thanks Lee. :happy2: I wonder if i tell to ignore her speedo and enjoy the sportier looking tyres. :rolleye:

500 for 4 PS3?? And that's after discount.
I can get GY F1 assyms for about 100 each.
Hmmm
-
It's 4x £129. :smiley:
-

So that's 516 by my maths. Ill look elsewhere I think :-)
GY F1 v2 are 116ish on camskill :-)

I'd normally agree Rich and the F1s are a great tyre, but i kid you not the PS3s have gone almost twice the distance both sets of F1s i had did... :surprised:
-
Yeah I suppose that might make the extra money worth it. Do they grip as well as the f1s mate?

Compared to the Gen 1 Assym i'd say that there is ever so slightly less grip in a full throttle straight line situation although i'm being super critical there and my times at Inters were within 0.1s for both tyres, granted not exactly scientific though! :grin:
Lateral grip and braking wise there is no difference that i can feel or quantify tbh, although the PS3 really does raise the game in the wet compared to the F1 imo :happy2:
-
Hmm... Decisions.... Sounds like they might be worth the extra if they wear better. :-)
Ta for the advice Steve.
