Just been looking at pilot sport 3 tyres, they seem to get some good reviews, probably going to go for 195/50 R15. Kwik Fit have them for £62 per tyre fitted and balanced, is that good or is there cheaper out there?

Thats a really good price that!
Got mine fitted for £65 each on the front
Brilliant tyres, I abuse them a lot and theyve took a lot of stick very well with lots of tread still remaining, go for it!

Nice one
What power are you running through your wheels? Ive currently got them on the front of my stage 1 hdi which gets abused in gear 50% of the time, those tyres never give in with grip around corners or when planting your foot

Nice one, they would last ages on a standard tune 306 derv aha!
Im running around 125 and probably a bit more torque than a stage 1 d turbo and they have lasted well, should be the same for you, have you had tracking done recently? (Mine was 7 degrees out and ate a set of rainsport 3's on the front in just over 4k miles!)

I'm planning on getting the tracking done when the new tyres are being done, that way I know it's all good and should make the tyres last a little longer
