Dear all,

Just to share my experience.

My set of 4 PS3 205/55/16 dated week 51 year 2014 cost me RM1300 inclusive everything done after trade in my set of

XM2 with 50% tread in a Michelin tyre dealer shop. Prior to that l went to a Michelin tyre agent for the same transaction. But the

fellow replied NO DEAL because he has too many 2nd hand tyres already and l have to pay RM1520 and settle my XM2 on my

own. Dam thing.

So l am happy now with the deal at the cost of RM1300. You know l really feel the gap between the performance of my new PS3

and former XM2 when l drove to Genting for Wakin Life performance in Arena of Stars 2 days ago.

Nope, two tyre change method means no rotation. Let the front wheel wear out first. Then when change two new tyres the new ones goes to the rear. The older rear ones goes to the front to be worn off. Then when the front wears out, do the same process again.

Just changed from Hankook V12 to PS3.
Slightly quieter compared to worn out V12 only...

The Hankook V12 served well, but since PS3 priced has dropped a lot, I just take it.
It was 220/pc for 195/55/15. 3 years ago the price was about 300/pc... smile_dead.gif

Yup, recently the PS3 have drop it's price, some sizes even cheaper then launch price. Probably became well known then prices started to go up. Probably after going up many have switched to other brands, so now they reduce price to gain back these customers.
Where you got your PS3 at RM220?

In Kulim, Kedah. The owner said he buy in huge quantity when it was cheap.
Now RM depreciated and with coming GST, it won't be cheap after this batch is sold out.
I wouldn't go for PS3 if Eagle Efficient Grip Performance is available...

Isn't GST suppose to drop the prices of tyre since it already comes with 10% sales tax?
