JJH,
I agree with R32UK 100%. Don't even go there especially in the wet unless you into banana skins.
Good rim protection though
I really am into my rim protection. Don't mock the afflicted.

Yeah, the Pearly tyres are great in drier warmer climates, but in the wet, one will gently slide into a kerb and use their rim protection for all it is worth. They wear out quicker than an Italian woman. Seen those mammas?

Regarding the Michey PS3s, about two months ago when I was at my dealership, a guy who had them on his GTI loved their wet grip but felt he had lost a bit of steering feel when compared to his Bridgestones.
I am getting more and more interested in the new Goodyears. Hope they come on the market soon. Be a bit pricey though but probably cheaper than the Michelin PS3s.
Asker is this going to be a 30 page thread about you rimming your tyres

LOL!

No it won't, you cheeky chappie, unless Doc keeps bringing it up.

Anyway, good protection keeps the Monza Shadows away from Sh!t and Polish.
i dont care what anyone tells me.. the bridgstones are SH!T. end of!!
I agree. Big time. They even wheelspin in
turd gear in the dry.

Blackcircles price fully fitted for 4 x Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta sounds pretty reasonable @ £471.88
Can anyone comment on what the rim protection is like on these tyres?
Asker is great for rimming i'm sure he will be along very soon
How rude. 
Gossa had these summer tyres and swore by them. He would know best. I have seen the Winter Verds (Neilgti and Ess_Three have these) and they have very good rim protection. The summer tyres should be just as good for this feature

The Micheys and Bridgestones have very good rim protection. The Continental ContiSport 3s, which are on the Merc, don't. She has managed to kerb the front wheels really badly.
Steve: Beware, as in my SMS.
