That's a bad curve if you ask me.....At least for this part of the world, I wouldn't go for it.

[mahmoud_bedewi]

most of the improvement is for wet conditions, not applicable for our region
i agree with Mr President Ayham :D

^^ Regardless of your car tire sizes, look at the chart very well. The PS3 is clearly designed for wet countries. No good to us here..

[w7dawe335i]

ahaa thanks ayham

so we are wait for the gulf space looool

what is the best Michelin tires ps2 or ps cup ??

[Ayham]

PS2 is a street tire, PS Cup is a semi slick...

I agree with Ayham ... I got these for my car too, but after the trip to Kalba i am very much dissapointed in them .. I was struggling hard for Road grip at high speed ... Before i have Pirelli, when i got the car and the road grip was imense but needed to be replaced.

I assume i have change the tyres to Pirelli.

Any recommendations ?

I agree with Ayham ... I got these for my car but after Kalba road trip i am very much disappointed in them, I was struggling hard for road grip in corners.

When i got the car i had Pirelli and the road grip was immense but since they were old they had to be replaced.

I guess i have to change them back to Pirelli ... Any recommendations what should i go for ?

Pirelli P Zero if you have the budget for one the most hardcore street tires on the market. Yields good mileage too.

I personally run the Pirelli Corsa semi slicks on the M3, and my next set is another set of them.
