Mich ps2 or conti sport contact 3s?
« on: October 06, 2009, 10:05:18 pm »
It's looking like I've only got 2.5 mm left of the front of my Goodyear eagle f1s gsd3s. I do like them but I think I prefer the contiSC3s. But at the weekend steve bent my ear about the michelins. I know quite a few on here recomend them, john o being one too.

Its 130.80 for the conti to me off supplier and 187 for the michelins. Now I know there good, but for the 235/35/19 size, are they worth that?

Anybody gone from one to the other?

vredestein ultrac sessantas mate, 90 pound per corner, 95% as good as ps2's in the dry, and better in the wet. ive used them on road and track and they are exellent.

^^ I've gotta say I agree, by all accounts these are good tyres - but at half the price of PS2s and just for the road, you'd be mad not to.
Sideways yo!
