Michelin PS3

[DriveAllDay]

Just thought I'd share my experience with PS3 with fellow forum members -- hope this is useful to all considering a change.

Recently replaced my 3yr old Goodyear Eagle F1 with PS3 (both non run-flat). The difference was night and day.

1. Much better handling, especially in the wet
2. Better mileage
3. SOOO Much quieter -- didn't realise how noisy my car was prior to the change

All in all, extremely happy with the switch.

Re: Michelin PS3

i'm currently on PS3 and it's a good tyre but i don't think they are considered quiet.

TS is comparing with Eagle F1, which are famous for very noisy. So relatively PS3 will become very quiet.

Recently on ps3 nearly 15k mileage ... Quite a comfy ( cos compare to rft ) and quiet tyre compare to My previous nct 5 GY . But durability Wise I feel actually not as good as GY cos my rear tyre almost half gone Liao ... Maybe cos I usually travel long distance back to malacca and KL hi hi

Re: Michelin PS3

Was yours the GY F1 or F1 Assym?? The F1 (with arrow-shaped threads) are damn noisy.

Can't remember but I think it was Assym. I think it got louder after three years on the road even though much of the thread remained...

It feels more comfy, but not much more so since the F1 was quite ok in that department to start with.

Re: Michelin PS3

don't feel bad since you already changed it, good or not you can now feel for yourself.
your own review is better than just hear-say lah!

I am on Advan Sport for the last 30k mileage (believe the thread can still last another 20k or more) and so far so good even on heavy raining day (still give me good confident when going over pool of water @ 90kmh)

may be noise level not so good and definitely the price is steep wif the high Jap Yen.

that's weird since the Eagle F1 Assym is supposed to be a very quiet tyre. I know for sure the F1 (non- Assym with V shaped threads) were damn noisy tyres to start with so just making sure the comparison was with the right tyre. I'm also considering either Eagle F1 Assym or PS3 on my next tyre change.

I'm still on stock Pirelli Cinturato P7 Run-flats and I must say these are pretty decent new generation of run flats.
