Tyres- Michelin PSS gone up in price

[flashp]

Am I imagining this or have these gone up in price lately?
My local tyre bay wants £160/tyre fitted. Tyre leader have them at £125.64, obviously not fitted.
I'm sure I recall these being just under £100 a short while ago. Or am I having a moment

Back down to £110 a corner Ash 

£160 is crazy, though not surprised, there was a thread the other day about how they seemed to have vanished from all the tyre sites all together.

I'd be buying up at that price and hit my local fitter at £15 a corner fitted

I'd agree on that. Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the link  , I was looking for a set, couldnt find them on a 92Y. They wasn't on tyre leader 2 days ago. Going to order a set as my PS3 are very low.

I managed to get mine at £99 a corner from tyreleader in around June last year so you're definitely not imagining it! They seem to be fluctuating in price a lot recently... around two months ago they were £136 per corner and now they are £111 on the above link

They were showing as £135 a corner (fitted) on Black Circles the other week, but I've just pulled the trigger on 4 x Pilot Sport 4s as they're £108 (fitted) each at my local ATS.  I'll try and wangle Michelin's £50 petrol voucher deal from them as well 

I was going to go for the Super Sports but they're getting on a bit now and I've read mixed reviews on them.  It must be due for an update soon?  I wonder if that's where the mixed reviews come from, the fact older design tyres can sit around in stock for ages before being fitted to a car?  Are there any sidewall markings to indicate when they were made?
