Michelin PE2 vs PS3

[aucky]

I need a new set for the MOT in the next couple of weeks..

Has anyone had a good go on PS3s yet?
Worth swtiching? (whilst I have the choice of both)..

Cheers

I have PS3s on my 182 and i like them. They look a bit stretched on the rim compared to the PE2s, but in terms of performance wet or dry i have not noticed much difference.
Other than maybe a bit better in the dry when pushing on. But that could just be me.

Theres been some talk of softer side walls. Have you noticed anything when you really lean on them?

 

[Triki]

They do feel softer to touch/press. But they dont seem to suffer for it, that i have noticed yet.

don't think PE2's are available at michelin anymore so you'll need to find someone with them in stock

PS3's are fine! Had some fitted to mine recently, got the wife to use the car for a week or so whilst I was away, just so the tyres got a bit of gentle use to run in. I've used the car a couple of times now and have to say i'm quite impressed with the handling (standard suspension on a 182 Sport, non cup) and my last car was an Evo VI.
