Condoms also got different prices and different quality, like tyres. The old saying " u get what u pay for " applies to condoms, and of cos tyres.

Re: PS 2 vs Yokohama Advan v103 vs CSC3
Not driving a BMW - but have tried the Advan Sports before and currently on PS2 - both 225/45 R17.
Go for the PS2 - better comfort, slightly less noise. Not good enough a driver to say which has better grip...
And the last I checked with LS at Ubi, the price difference isn't that big for my size.

Re: PS 2 vs Yokohama Advan v103 vs CSC3
I bought the CSC3. Was pretty good but not quiet as expected.
My friend's E60 with Michelin PS 2 feel more grippy than the CSC3. I think it is slightly quieter too! But perhaps our CSC3 has the edge when it rains? This part.....I'm not sure coz my friend let me test his car when it wasn't raining

+1,000,000. Changed from Toyos to PS2. Cant imagine how much tires made a difference to the car to the point it hides the sub par handling of the E92. Its more expensive but bleeding worth the money. The PS2s are tires I will find it hard to change from. Exceptional Experience.

Re: PS 2 vs Yokohama Advan v103 vs CSC3
Yes i agree. I feel like the sidewalls have small springs in them like a mini suspension in the tire itself. I can actually feel the importance of good sidewalls since the PS2. The Toyo ones needed more tire pressure but that made the car radically too bumpy though corners were ok. On PS2, its like a big relief. Even when i enter my car park with the PS2, and today was raining, i always get my DSC blinking light for like 5 secs when the car park is wet with the Toyos. With the PS2s, the light is only for 2 secs max, and traction is regained WITHOUT the traction system intervening. Also on corners, the traction control intervention is alot more progressive as compared to the Toyos where it was simply too abrupt. I think the Traction system in the car must be thanking me for not being overworked now. Hahah..

Re: PS 2 vs Yokohama Advan v103 vs CSC3
Not exactly Ed... but as with all semi slicks, ya got to practice a bit of restraint when the roads are wet... it is prudent to be safe than sorry. However, if the roads are dry, you'll start feeling gung ho... every corner also want to chiong (confirm, chop stamp guaranteed) ... do also note that the threadwear is at 80, so they will burn out alot faster than your PS2s.
You will not regret... as for chieting you... I dunno about that.. I am not in that league bro... haha
Well bro.. not toothless... RE55s... they are great too but the only problem was that once you have them on... you start feeling as if your wheel bearings and rear diff 'machiam' kapoot like that! If not for the hairy tyre blowout at Turn 5 through 6, I would still be on them... but... I got the Cups now... sweet.
Now... with the cups... it sure hell feels grippy even when u get the sliding out feeling... dunno the limits of these tyres yet... we shall see... they are a tad too quiet though for what they are meant for...
