Michelin Pilot Sport 3

[vr2turbo]

Ya no other better tyres to choose from lo...Hankook V8 is my other choice if I'm not
getting Michelin. So far, the ride is quiet, comfortable and good grip.

No harshness or vibration nor any noise so far.

NVH is later on issues.....

Well, all depends on the car too. How the tyre wears and so on. Some have issues while some don't, so not everyone will have same issues or problems.....

for those who live near pekan nanas in johor...there is a new tyre shop that just opened...quoting ps3 at rm280 and xm2 at rm270...i'm getting my fren to check out f1d5 prices there. any other tyre want him to help check tyre prices?

Ixeo : group buy! I need to replace all 4

I estimate earliest April, most likely June, you can wait that long? Burning in a ball of flames in a Wira is not as entertaining as a Veyron. I'd be pretty bored without you around.

The front being the drive wheel will wear more than the rears, and the peeling is due to the drive.
The marker at the side is just an indicator where the TWI are.

This is where the indicators are

Your tyres can call it a day when reach this point.....

Can try Hankook V12Evo.....

Noted and thanks for the education. V12 Evo tread wear seems worst than PS3. Price difference not that big. I have V12 on another car.

ixeo been cucuked quite a lot recently from the looks of his tyre condition...too much stone spitting can cause tears like that too hahaha

Possible. After rotation I will try not to IXEO anybody and see if it happens. :hmmmm:

I thought the V12 and PS3 should have bigger difference then F1D5.
How is the V12 in your other car?

Bugger!

Ok I can't wait that long and I really don't want to be burnt in a ball of flames in a Wira.

Sigh. Ventus Hankook Sunway Tek Ming here I come I guess.

No complaints about V12 performance, sidewalls feel softer than PS3 in cornering though, and it wears down rather fast compared to PS3. Not surprising considering PS3 has higher tread wear.

Why not the GY F1D5?

V12 still cheaper. Of course if same price can try F1 D5 then....

I'd prefer the F1D5.. but ultimately it all boils down to $. I'm a stingy bugger.

That's beyond my DIY skills la. If I had surplus millions, I'd buy my own tyre fitting machine, an alignment machine, balancer, a Dyno-dynamics dynomometer and a hydraulic car lift. After I buy over my neighbors house and convert it into a garage.

Then you'll see a DIY street spec tyre install.

Hehe.

*dream*

So I spoke to my trustworthy tyre man, and he told me this is pretty common for PS3 and some Michelin tyres due to the way the tyre is constructed. It does not affect performance (true) nor tread wear (he say, I don't know).

It doesn't happen to everybody as it also depends on how one drives. Since I spit rocks, I'm not surprised it happened to me. In any case, my tyre is due for a change next year, I bought the 195/50 R15 PS3 at RM220 @ 2010. Right now I think the prices are around RM260?

Depending how much the GY F1 D5 costs, I might just get those instead.
