New Tyres for the trophy ?

[Lancs-Trophy]

Seen lots of threads on tyres and small reviews on tyres but non seem to add up.

My trophy is ready for new tyres all i have ever run it on is Pe2's but now i have found out i can not get them anywhere .

I do alot of millage 20 miles + a day plus my tottering about millage soon wear and tear soon adds up as you can tell.

What will be a good tyre replacement ? Costs ? Good dealers or northwest tyre dealers ??

Any help would be fantastic i dont want to pay silly prices if they wear quick which i find Pilots do .

Personally I'd get hankook v12's. I think the ps3 is the direct Michelin replacement.

I am also in need of replacing 4 PE2s on my trophy. From my endless research, it appears that the PS3s are a direct replacement & they offer on par levels of grip in the dry & more grip in the wet. I have also read many reviews stating that they are slightly quieter (ie road noise) & will wear at the same rate as PE2s (which is a long time)

The best price I have found is from Camskill (these are located in cumbria so not too far from you either). I managed to get 4 PS3s inc delivery for £397. Obviously I will then need to factor in fitting/balancing costs, but it will still work out the cheapest option for me.

Check if Costco have any offers on. They usually have an annual short term offer for 20% off four Michelins (it's all they sell). Worth looking to see if it's up & running yet as nowhere came close when i picked up my last set.

i'd recommend hankook v12's after getting them, they seem to be loads better than my pe2's were!
and price vs. performance you can't really go wrong!

Hankook's get my vote too.

Check out Event-tyres mate. http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/

I'm in the same situation as you and they can do 4 PS3s for £432 fitted, balanced etc. 4 PE2s are also available for £476.

They also come to your house and fit them at a time that's best for you.
Get very good reviews on Pistonheads so i'm going to give them a shot.

Hankook V12's will work out loads cheaper than that and are a stunning tyre...

Just had Event-tyres at my place of work to fit 4 new Michelin PS3 tyres. I cannot recommend these guys enough for their cost, timekeeping, customer support, workmanship etc.
