3.0si: Michelin PS3 or Pirelli P Zero or Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2?
Hello guys,
I am trying to decide what summer tires to get for my 3.0si: 225/40/R18 front and 255/35/R18 rear. I am now running Bridgestone Potenza RE 050A and to tell you the truth... I want more grip. I have narrowed it down to those three: Michelin PS3 or Pirelli P Zero or Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2, but would like to get some opinions on each from people who actually have driven with these tires and possibly compared between them. I really want to get the best one of the three, best one meaning most grip and dry and wet conditions. Cheers! Last edited by Arxangel; 03-27-2011 at 04:06 AM.. |

I haven't tried the PS3 yet (are they out already?), but given my experience with PS2s I'm sure they'll be spectacular. I had Goodyear F1s on my Z4 roadster and loved them 0 much better than the run-flats good grip and wet weather handling. You can't go wrong with either.
However, I loathe the Pirellis. I had a set of P-zeros for a year and had to replace 3 of the 4 due to the sidewalls bubbling, yet despite the softness of the sidewalls the ride didn't seem better than my PS2s. |

I've got still my winter wheels mounted (I know it is way to hot for winter tires )
But last summer I had the stock wheels and I didn't liked them. I only have the car 1 year and I wanted to wait buying new tires untill I had new rims. And now the have finaly arrived I will definitly share my thoughts ... but I can compare only to stock tires |

I was under the impression PS3 is equal to PS2 but better wet performance, and PSS is the successor in that it's the best driving tire

I still would welcome some comments on them from people who have actually driven them, or are currently doing so. |

OK, so the PSS is not yet available here in Bulgaria, probably will be for next summer. Until then I guess I will have to settle for the PS3.
