What are the cons if any if I buy these tyres now and don't use them until next spring? Will they degrade over time? Best means of storing unused tyres?

thanks

They would be fine until then in my opinion, try and store them in doors or at least in the dry with constant temp.  :happy2:

Are ps2 better than ps3 in terms of grip?

Never had ps2 on the '30 but did have them on the A3 and i dont remember them being 'that' much different than the ps3s i have now tbh...

£499.16 for 4 Michellin PS3s in 225/40/18, in Costco today. Deal runs until the 20th November. I was told that they will fit the tyres anytime within 12 months of purchasing.

store them so they are standing up--a tyre has a shelf live of 4 years before its binned
