Nonsense... Goodyear F1 Assy2s will run rings around PS3s. The PS3 is a hard compound tyre...

Post by: john87 on August 29, 2013, 09:52:04 am: Another vote for Assy 2's :happy2: much better in the dry and wet (and quieter) than the Bridgestone potenza's that are on the new wheels...

Having used both i can quite confidently say not a cat in hells chance! GY Assym 2 are a lot better than PS3 by some margin. That's not me saying PS3 are a bad tyre as they aren't. It's the A2 are better.
