Michelin anounced that PS2 will continue on production, but now they are goint to be named Michelin Pilot Sport, you should not have problems to buy them.

PS3 are a 'performance energy saver tyre' - not in the same league as PS2

really? thats a step in the wrong direction then isnt it?

ps1 are oem on mine

loads use the ps2 and like

i thought( and i know thats where I went wrong) ps3 would carry on but be improved....

I always found the Continentals on my old M3 pretty good, they were very good in the rain, never used them on track though if that makes a difference to you?

I've always rated the Falkens FK452's

Not saying there as good as the PS'2 but for the price they have got to be worth a look :thumbs:

If anyone does find somewhere with 265/30/19 PS2s in stock, please post here. I also need a set within a couple of weeks.

kwik fit seem to have them online at £577 fitted - have you tried them (they get their Michelins direct from Europe supplied as they are owned by them)

Goodyear F1's on mine now cups are stored up in germany for the winter, they are actually feeling really good now they are worn in ..

Get the right sizes Lee, I tried 275 rear / 245 fronts on Toyo's last year or the one before, didnt feel right.
