Just picked up two pilot sport 3s in 195/45/16. I phoned about 5 places and only one could get hold of them so i assume they are still a bit of a bas**rd to get hold of! Anyway, got them on the front and they are so much better than my old eagle F1s! Will be going back payday for two more for the rear


Haven't PS3's always been available (readily) in 16's?

Yes but only in limited widths/profiles. It was sort of the cross over size for PE2s and PS2/3s. Now its all covered under the PS3s. Must say, ive done about 100 miles on them now and they are fantastic. So much better than my eagle F1s!

I used mine going up the hill at pugfest and the grip was pretty awesome to be honest time will tell how well they last with the punishment of being on the beast Wink.

Still cant fault my PE2's. They grip very very well. They also worked well yet again at pugfest. Smile

I must say, other than the feel of the tyre with the walls feeling a bit stiffer, the grip seems exactly the same as the PE2s

What i found with PE2's is that there was in some ways a bit beyond where you thought the limit was where it STILL was gripping like glue.
This meant i could drive like a c*nt 99% of the time.

I hope PS3's maintain this feature.

Don't get the UK spec PS3's! They have a 'built in' imbalance at around 77 mph! So no c**t driving for you!

Okay well had you the need to exceed 130mph they are still available at My Tyres.

Point is they are still available not whether they are better than PE3's.

I'd prob stick with what I've tested and recommend. PE2's are fantastic.

PS3 are better I think. In the sizes I've tried.

Camskill seem to be able to sell Michelins for less than authorised dealers can buy them from Michelin. Hmm.
