Opinions Please: Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (PS3)'s

[TwistdInfinity]

Hi all,

In need of new tyres, and found a place doing these for about $175 a tyre, compared to others advertising about $220 a tyre.

How are they? I've previously used Falken 453's and Yoki C-Drive's (1st gen) which I both loved (although the Falkens wore out twice as quick as the C-Drive). These two are in the same price range as the PS3's (when at full price) so it should be a good comparison.

Thanks!

I've seen them in action on a 3rd gen WRX STi (GV?) in the wet at Eastern Creek south circuit. Bloody awesome.

Bargain at that price. Have these on my Lib currently. Whilst I rate them they arent as good as the previoys tyres i had Bridgestone RE050 found them to be a superior tyre in all conditions. Price however is also commensurate of this albeit they do offer buy 4 for the price of 3 from time to time.

Thanks all!

My mate also needed new tyres and has a '13 WRX so he got them.

I have to wait till my car is back from the repairers but I'll likely get them at that price too.

Had these on my old Foz (350 whp) and they are awesome for grip but don't last long at all. I got 6000 kms out of mine so they are a very soft tyre.

I have these on the rear of mine in 235/45/17, got them for $139 each from Jax a few months ago now. It's hard to rate them since they're on the rear only but they were half the price of anything else competitive and seem to be doing well.
