Run flat tyres?? Sounds like you need them. My advice would be don't skimp on tyres, its your life and others you are potentially putting at risk if you do.

60k from a set of tyres.

A reasonably heavy, rear wheel drive car with tonnes of torque, plenty of camber and an LSD means I'm lucky to get 20k from a pair on the rear !

I've used Falkens (ZE912's and FK452's) for the last couple of years but I've been forced to admit they are just too soft for my car. I've just put on a set of Michelin PS3's after getting plenty of recommendations from friends so I'll see how they go. Less than $800 for a set of four in 235/45/17.....can't argue with that.

Now that you've had them for a couple of months, how are they?

I'm looking at the PS3s, Michelin Primacy 3 ST or the Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 to replace the Nexens on my Cerato. Tyre noise and being good in wet & dry conditions are my main concerns, I'm willing to spend a bit for decent tyres.

They are on my garage queen and so it only comes out every other weekend, but so far I've been really impressed with them. They stick like glue when I give it a few beans and they are also pretty quiet.

I would take them over the Primacy's and probably the RE003's too based on friends comments. Several have gone from RE002's to RE003's and haven't been all that happy with them.
