Maybe you're right... can't remember from 4 years ago.

That's what it seems to be. A Gates kit in a Renault box !

Well I've bitten the bullet and bought a cambelt kit, an aux belt kit and a water pump all from RPD. A bit of a strange one. The aux belt is labelled up Renault with a part number etc... but the cambelt is a Gates belt with just Gates part numbers on it. Now I know Gates make the belts for...

That's very helpful... cheers. I probably do a couple of thousand miles a year at most in the car so my tyres will probably date out before they wear out ! I've always had good respect for Avon as a brand - used their F3 slicks on my modsports GT car back in the day.

I've a second set of wheels shod in Uniroyal Rainsport 5 - two tyres are excellent... two are 1mm. I've never used them so I may get two new Rainsports and try them for a bit while I cogitate on getting 4 new Pilot Sport 3s.

Fair enough... I think one of the FIAT Puntos uses them as well... but yes point taken.

Thanks Matt... that's £486 for 205x45x16 and I'm probably looking at £80 or so to get them fitted... so not far off £600 again.

Thanks so much for that... really helpful and really interesting.

... sorry a link for 205x45x16 rather than 195

OK, fair enough... but they're averaging £130-£150 fitted as opposed to £40 a pop for the Three-A... Can you give me the link to the above BTW I'm sure I'll end up with another set of PS3s anyway.

May not always be the case... certainly wouldn't be here but then I've got two lever arch folders of genuine Renault parts and service invoices for my 3 owner 80K 182 going back to the original bill of sale... and a portfolio of photographic evidence for all the work I've undertaken.

My 182 is currently shod in Michelin Pilot Sport 3 all round and they're a very good tyre. Before I relieve myself of another circa £600 for a new set, I was just interested in getting the opinions of people who've used a set of these. There's an eBay seller whose sold 123 sets of these and I...

You're right, the site's not easy to navigate but the one for our car would be the P606. There's a link to it here. https://threeatires.com/product/three-a-p606-uhp-tires/

As most of us have discovered, the lack of cars running 205x45x16 has meant rubber in that size is pretty expensive across all of the main brands. I was just interested to see if anyone has fitted Three-A tyres and what they thought of them. I know we all have opinions on budget tyres but I'm...

40K miles is still a fair old amount... we're talking hundreds or low thousands of miles here though. In my case I've done 2500 miles since I changed them 4 years ago in 2020.
