One of my customers are Michelin development and sports tyres dealers. They've spoken to the top guys in Michelin and yes PE2s are disappearing in pretty much every small size, in fact Michelin are killing off most of their sports small tyre range (thats the description in the email from them). No idea why!

I asked if they had any left so I could buy them cost and hawk them on to you lot at vast prices, but none available now.

So expect them to go in 50 and 55.Thumbs down

If you can find them and you are looking for 55s I'd say that train has well and truly sailed.

Just buy AD08s
In the wide world of tyres they are considered gernerally awesome and pe2s are pretty old.

But does that matter so much? Most the reviews say they are brilliant on the road.

They are yoko's version of the R888, but cheaper, £25 a corner cheaper for a 15"

AO48's are now knocking on £140 each, were £100 not so long ago.

For everyday driving in this country what you want is Uniroyal Rainsports. Yes

Having said that, I've not *actually* had a problem with R888's in the wet, although I've not pushed them to the limit of breaking traction but they seemed ok.
An expensive all year round tyre though none the less. LOL

So does anyone have any experience with PS3s? (leave the Playstation jokes out Elliot Razz )
I'm looking to get some new tyres for my 17" Turinis, and was set on PS2s, but can't find them for sale anywhere, likely for the above reasons.......

Developed to be the "best street tyre"
So basically a uhp tyre for street and the odd track day
