Michelin PS3 Wear Rate - MY95 - 21-03-2014
How many mies have people had out of these on the front?
Thinking of getting some as my next tyres, having only done 1500 mies on Rainsport 3s and they're wearing quickly!

Had ps2s on my old car and did 15k on them. Were brand new when I got the car and were at about 4mm when I got rid but I did drive it hard.

Thats sounds good, im driving my 306 quite hard and these rainsport 3s arent taking it too well after 1.5k miles in 2 months!
Have you tried the PE2's as well?
RE: Michelin PS3 Wear Rate - Niall - 21-03-2014
No I haven't but the PE2s were just the smaller range of ps2/3s. They don't make them anymore as they combined them into the ps3 range

Thanks for the reply, Yeah I read somewhere ese that they dont make them but theres a few paces still selling them off, either going to go for PS3's or Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance next I think

What are you doing to those rs3s? Mine have done 1k and still look new...maybe your trackings off?

Driving it hard ish in 2nd and 3rd out of 60 zones other than that not much else
Maybe it is yeah, any other way to tell, I could upload a photo?
RE: Michelin PS3 Wear Rate - Toms306 - 22-03-2014
Unless you're wheel spinning in 2nd/3rd that won't make a noticeable difference. Hard cornering and wheel spinning are what tyres hate...and I do both on a regular basis.
Is it just the outer edge wearing badly? If so, it's likely to be the tracking, though 306's do have a tendency to chew edges even when the tracking's correct, but not that quickly usually.

This is what my RS3s look like btw, around 1000 miles on them.

My front RS3's look like they have a bit less tread than yours on Tom, dont wheelspin in 2nd or 3rd, I have in first 2/3 times though, hard cornering not really that often and when I corner its not hard cornering usually, mine now have 2k on though
