Michelin - PS3's or PSS?

[richtung]

Morning folks,

The ED30 will be needing new rear tyres - the Vreds Sessantas are cracking at the side wall. I currently have Michelin PS3's on the fronts - fitted 12 months ago and have done 6K miles.
Not sure what to get for the rears - another set of PS3's (I've had no issues at all with the PS3's) or go for Pilot super Sports.

I will never do a track day and never boot the car as such - im more concerned about performance in the wet and tyre life to be honest.

The price gap between the PS3 and PSS is now relatively marginal (less than £20 or so per tyre) which makes the decision slightly more difficult.

Any advice?

Thanks

Rich

PSS!!!!!

The sensible view would be If your not going to use the PSS to its full potential then get the PS3.

PSS would be better but if you're not using them aggressively and you have PS3 on the front I'd get a full matching set of PS3's.

PSS are unbelievably good in the wet and dry 

I honestly wouldn't buy any other tyres now, they really are that good. . . Plus they look cool

At £110 a corner for 18s there can't be much difference in price to the PS3

Camskill are selling PS3s for £93 per corner so a total difference of £68 if you need 4 new clogs, not quite so noticeable a difference if you're only replacing the rears/fronts...

id say PS3 to give you a matched set from the criteria you describe, they work and wear well. You wont go wrong.

What i would say is that given my limited PSS experience, the PSS is far superior to the PS3 in everyway so far (wear rate pending), so you wont be full optimising the setup (but that doesnt sound like that too much of a concern)

I shall be replacing my PS3 rears with PSS very soon to match my front ones, but the PS3 have performed well (and indeed work well for me with a slighter looser rear end bias)

i got Ps3's and £98 a corner is a bargain

Out of interest does anybody know what the PSS wear rate is like compared to the Goodyear Eagle Assy 2's?

My fronts are on 3mm but my rears are still on about 6.5mm and are going to last about 2-3 years more at this rate (which isn't something to normally complain about) but I really want to try some PSS's.

About the same, the last like normal High Performance road tyres, but grip way better :)

Just try some PSS on the front when you replace them, and put PSS on the back when you have to replace them.

I'm running PSS front, GY eagle F1 rear

That would be the logical thing to do but it will really bug me though having different tyres front and back.

Maybe I'll do the fronts when they're due and when I've got a bit of spare cash in a few months switch the backs....

[GrayMK5GTI]

You could sell the rears as part worn on here. . .

Yeh I probably will but don't know what theyre worth really, 225/35/19 no repairs, never touched a curb and 6mm+ either side?
