Went for the Goodyear EfficientGrip 225/40 R18 W (92), Reinforced. Fuel EfficiencyC Wet Grip B Exterior Noise 70dB. £120 a pop. Lets see how we get on
Well ive had my Assy 2's on about a month now, I have really really booted or pushed it in the wet then just tonight, and I must say the roads seem damp and greasy as I went round a roundabout a bit quick and the back slid a little, so when I then gave it some in 2nd on the straight the n/s wheel span and traction was on and off :/ I was hoping it wouldn't have done that!
Anyone else had anything similar? I know the have a top rating for wet grip.
Shall test again in wet etc... as gonna need 2 more for back in a few months or so!
Michelin PS3's All Day Every Day!
Hmm, do I trust Halfords with my rotors?
I had the PS3 for 39k km, which was a very good tyre but my new PSS 225/40x18 92Y are awesome. Compared to my old, most noticeable is steering feel and sharpness (almost like a cart), car feels softer and although on paper both have 71db noise the PSS are less loud. Extremely satisfied. Highly recommended!
Attached photos of old and new.

Where did you get them from in the 92Y fitment? e.g website?
I need to replace my PS3s with these but can't seem to find them in the UK yet in XL
Cheers
Just bought 4x 225/45/17 F1 Asy 2 91Y for £78 each from Camskill, on offer.
As an all rounder, the Assy 2's are hard to beat. It really does have good wet grip, the only thing that is different about them to others I've tried is that they are less progressive (less warning) in letting go in the wet. So grip grip grip grip, then no grip, the others will start to slide a little before totally letting go, but be assured that the point at which the Assy2's let go in the wet is higher than others I've compared.
Sure, the PS3 will have slightly better grip in the dry, but the Assy 2 is a quieter tyre. PSS dry grip is outstanding, but softer compound and costs more.
Conti 5's are noisier than Assy2, and tend not to have as good dry or wet grip levels as the Assy2.
In the absolutely soaking wet, the Assy2 on all 4 wheels is the most difficult to get the car sideways on lift off oversteer. I have to have much higher entry speeds, with a more aggressive flick in order to de-stabilise the car. The Contis are easy in comparison, with the PS3's in the middle. Couldn't tell you about dry conditions, I hate chewing tyres up in the dry
