tyres: Stay with Conti SC 3 or try the Mich PS3 ?
« on: 03 August 2010, 15:30 »
 :undecided:
Hi all
 Fronts are Down to 2mm so time to change.
I've had conti sports (moved from 2s to 3s) on the car everytime. 3s are a big improvement over 2s IMHO but they don't last long (and I'm very easy on the car).

Do PS3s last any longer and are they worth the extra ££.
Only other issue is that the rear conti's still have 6mm left on them ( will put the new rubber on the rear).

Any thoughts??
Cheers

Same dilemma 3 months ago, I refer you to the following phrase:

Problem is that in a sense they are broke as they only last 10k miles!

Ive has my Conti SC 2' on car since new, and goto 20k, 6mm on back, 2.8 on fronts.  I did read a review saying the SC 3's are worse that SC 2's for wear.
