thought of getting a michelin ps3 but was recommended to get this instead. as according to the guy this model is more or less similar to michelin... and its cheap... any comment?

so i tot if d05 is cheaper and yet near to ps3 might as well get smtg cheaper in order to save cost... coz i only tot of changing 2 front tires for ps3.. but my existing tires alrdy 4 yrs old... however still good except that it has harden up alrdy. i seldom drive.. my milage is about 13k km only..?

If you have the budget, go for the PS3.
It is much better.

Have tried D05 for a week, recorded nearly 1500km.

Found the compound to be a bit stiff, grip wise just ok. At least I dun feel that grippy when traveling above 140km/h.
For the price, nothing much to complain.

Thanks . Got my ps3 for front. Rear maybe jus change to this 05 later.

And now ps4 is out! No wonder the tire shop told me they were clearing stocks for ps3 at cheap price but all sold out so i went to michelin shop to get mine.

New tyre should be put at the rear.
The better grip tyre, should be at the back too theoretically.

PS3 and D05 not in the same league, not sure how would be the outcome if you mix them on your car.

Well my car is front wheel. If lets say ya... Old tires were to put in front and it burst i will not be able to control anything. Coz my old tires is alrdy 4 yrs old. So i wouldnt want to take d risk doing so.

Ermm.. I dont think it will cause any big effect having two different threads though.. Coz many also did tht n i suppose there r not much of a big difference base on surveys from some of my automotive friends. And i don intend to change d rear one too soon as i seldom drive this car. And i think its wiser to budget for d rear ones as they r mainly used for rolling purposes only. Right?

Front wheel or rear wheel, the best tyre should be at the rear.

If the rear tyre burst, your car will swing around but if the front burst, you could possibly control it with the steering wheel. Anyway, most tyre would have maximum 5-year shelf life.

If that the case, you shouldn't have bought Ps3 either  brows.gif

I bought ps3 coz i js wanted to feel what it is like as many said it is good. Basically thats my only reason putting em on my car to test the feel of it.

Coz i have been using ori tires only so far. Hahaha.
