Michelin Pilot Sport 3

[vr2turbo]

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

I support ixeo's comment regarding the peeling. so far 2 other tyreman have told me this is a common issue when the tyre comes closer to the 20% mark and depends on tyre usage. this makes 4 seperate tyreman who have confirmed this is the norm.

Ixeo...if u can still get the PS3 at rm260...yr damn lucky or you're spitting those stones at his balls. cheapest i could source was at rm280 a month ago. same shop quoted me rm250 for a pc of F1D5

PS3 - 320 TW rating
F1D5 - 300 TW rating

but looks wise...F1D5 looks more garang with it's straight angle walls and V shaped thread...the PS3 sort of looks like old uncle tyres haha

If just peeling from the corner of the block, then is okay, but for some chunks are coming off....
RM260 is for 195/50R15, Yours is 195/55R15, right?
PS3 rating of 320, also many still say wear fast....:hmmmm:

was quoting 195/55r15. sorry for not mentioning.

my previous ps3 was last changed in september 2011...just changed to another set in november 2012. these are for my fronts. now i got my adjustable uca...can finally correct the stupid inherent negative camber so i expect my new set to last longer than a year.

All the while in the front, then what about the rear tyres?
For me if two tyre change, the new ones goes to the rear and rear ones to the front to be finished off. If new to the front, new will finish first, then rear one gets too old....

 

[arturo]

i couldnt rotate as i have negative camber on the fronts so no matter how well i maintain (alignment each month) i still have uneven wear on the inside. this coupled with lousy malaysian made bushes that fail after a year of use...

but my rears were on 2009 primacy lc n they lasted till my last change in november n could still even get rm40 each in trade in value hahaha
