One of the very best ''wet only'':  Nokian ''Z'' G2

The best overall summer 19":  Michelin PSS


Will go for the PSS when my SC3 are worn.  :happy2:

I have them on 17" rims. A very good tyre in my opinion. Great in the wet, precise when pressing on, and reasonable noise levels. £103 a corner in my car's size, so quite tolerably priced for the performance.

Yep, I've got them on 17" wheels and can definately recommend them, a very balanced tyre in all aspects.

i have goodyear pilot sport 3 on the front and goodyear eagle f1 assymetric on the back the only reason i bought the ps3 was because the eagle f1s were out of stock as they were in the middle of changing to assy 2 . I can say ive not noticed much improvment over the goodyears they are both really good tyres but i would probably buy goodyear next time as they are cheaper and seem to do the same job

i replaced my PS2 with PS3 (18 inch) a year ago (review pending  :signLOL:)  and really like them.
subjective, but for me

wet :    PS3 better than PS2
snow : PS2 better than PS3 (go figure!)
dry :     PS2 better than PS3 (marginal but PS2 has better feel/breakaway characteristics as well as a slightly higher limit)

PS3 definitely are harder wearing, but take a few miles to warm up! (very slippy initially)

Id like to try the PSS which would be a bias towards performance (as opposed to ultimate wet weather grip)

PS2/PS3/PSS you arent going to go wrong  :happy2:
