Michelin PS3 without shadow of doubt.

I've used all the top ones on my Stage 2+ vRS and PS3 are definitely the best when it's wet in my experience.

A lot quieter too and  treadware rating of 320 is better than most so you will get food mileage out of them.

Had the PS3 on mine now for about 3 months and they are defo way ahead of any other tyre ive used :happy2:

Dunno?

I paid just over £400 but I have 17's

I don't know if michelin are still doing the 25% off of you buy 4 tyres offer.

Basically when I got mine from ATS Euromaster Michelin had an offer where if you bought 4 tyres you got 25% off so basically paid for 3.

If you have 18's, which having an ED30 I would say you do, then you are prob looking around the £500 mark.

Best bet is to ring round and play people off against each other. Also try camskill as you may be able to get 4 tyres delivered and then pay someone local to fit them which could work out cheaper. :happy2:

Make sure the £119 ones are the right load rating. 92Y  not 88Y .

I presume 91Y are OK though (for 17s)?
