Michelin Pilot Sport 3

Poison with GT Radial HPY adi bro but it means is real good! :top:

Yup, finally rain season is here, and I find them handling pretty well in the wet too. I would say performance is 85 to 90% of the GY Asy2, which I find is really good already for something that cost 1/3 cheaper.
Will recommend to people who mention current tyres too expensive. Those can afford sure intro PS3, Asy 2, CSC5 and so on.....

Yup, no 14", in fact you are lucky to find PP2......

PS3 wet performance is not bad, but CSC5P is Conti top tyre, should be same as Michelin PSS, but all also will cost and arm and leg.....

Care to try GT Radial Champiro HPY?

Whats the GT Radial Champiro threadwear? available in 19"? already lost an arm & leg buying that CSC5P LOL now looking for cheaper option with hopefully same performance

my ps3 used since sept 2011 also showing similar condition but mine already reaching the 20% mark so it could b coz its close to eol. grip is still great tho but will hydro at speeds of above 110. when it was still new it didnt show prolonged hydro even at 120 so i'm sticking to these ps3 when i change this year end...good daily tyres

So... what is the best pressure for 195/50/15?? I usually put 31psi and I feel the car much lighter and can pick up much faster. If I put more like 32 or 33psi its like something is holding back the tires... So... which is best? I dont want to spoil my PS3...

 

[YYC]

Also don't forget advise on the optimal tyre pressure range for 215/45/17.

Funny, usually more air pressure will have better pick up?

 

[DareDan]

that is why I am confuse here... more pressure or less is best for the tires? cause last time my Silverstone M5 tire I always put 34 or 35 psi and the mech check and he said that my tire became not even and the center like bengka and he said that this is cause by did not follow the correct pressure of the tire.. The Falken ZE I always put 31 and it last longer than I tough and the mech check that the tire is still good just is left not much treat only.

There's no such thing as more pressure is best or less is best. It depends more on your car. Better start from the recommended pressure from the car manufacturer then adjust from that, either add or reduce it depending on how you feel. Higher pressures usually reduce comfort and grip but increase fuel economy, while lower pressure increase comfort and grip (to a certain extent) but reduce fuel economy. As for tire life, it also depends on the tire compound and your wheel alignment, not just the pressures.
I normally add a 2-3psi from the recommended pressure, but again depends on how I feel when driving it. If I feel it's too hard then I reduce it back.

hmmm... ok than I will try to find the best pressure for my tire...

Yo Ixeo : How goes your complaining?

34 to 35psi maybe too high for that tyre, that is why wear in the center....

Yup, as mentioned by bro. 6ues5t, start with factory recommend pressure, then add 2psi and try. Not enough another 2psi. Too bumpy reduce 2psi and so on....

My mech told me that the air pressure at petrol kiosk is not really accurate since those machine we not sure how often
they service.

So he advice me to come to the workshop to refill air instead. Then I said okay. Since is free anyway

Is your mechanic's workshop near or far. If I have to go to my mechanic's place for air refill, my petrol bill will soar.....ha! ha!

You can:-
1. Get your own air pressure gauge
2. Pump at those digital gauge pump (I go Esso ones) so far quite accurate
3. Pump at station then check with mechanic's gauge see correct or not? If correct, just go back to that pump to refill.....

Haha! Very near, about 5 - 8 mins drive

Ya, good suggestion to get air pressure, i usually pump at Shell station, digital one only easier
to use...those meter one i dunno how to use...

You mean the meter ones? Just turn the dial to your required psi on the dial, same as you would do as the digital ones you set the numbers, then pump until no more sound.....

For me I check air pressure when refuel.....two birds with one stone.....
