How many miles out of PS3's on the front ??
« on: January 12, 2013, 09:30:45 pm »

Just a quick question/poll

How many miles do you get out of your PS3's on the front.

I have only got 9,000 out of my last lot of fronts, and now I'd down to 3mm

And people say the GY Assy 2's don't last long   :surprised:

if you drive gently, and if the suspension geometry is set up well you should get 16-18k to a set of good quality tyres.

The harder you drive it, the quicker they will wear  :happy2:

Spinning the wheels takes a fair bit off your tread  :sad1:

10,800 miles for me, lasted me 18 months

I rarely do more than 80 mph

I might buy something mid range next time like Falkens. I don't think the extra expense of Mich is worth it :confused:

My experiences are similar to those mentioned. Not that it's any consolation. But if pilot supersport a were made in our size (with correct load) these wouldn't last even as long. I'd still like to try them though.

I was at the autosport show the other day and Michelin were displaying a new tyre (can't remember what they called it) that is in between the PS3 and the supersport. Could be interesting.
