Bloody Oath!

We've got some family dropping in tomorrow afternoon to terrorise us.
Would be nice to have someone who appreciates a good beer to whittle away the time with?

Jules,
try Jax at southport, they did me a really good deal on PP2 a few months back, and they were pretty helpful when it came to sourcing them.
Cheers

I was talking to my local Michelin guy last weekend and he was raving about the PS3's. He went to the Michelin drive day at Oran Park I think he said and was extremely impressed with them.

It's such a tough call. Go with a proven favourite, or try something new and risk disappointment.
Then again it would be a PITA to buy a set of PP2's and get a puncture in one later on.

A shame they don't list them for Australia in 205/45/16 though. The UK Michelin website lists the size, but says "available later this year". Hopefully they will be coming to Australia too - I've just emailed them to find out...


Jules, give these PS3's a whirl!! Surely Michelin would not take a backward step in development. 8)

Here's my tuppence for you Julio :mrgreen:
ImageImageImage

For what it's worth the ND runs Michelin XM1s which replaced knackered Pilots, suitably impressed and one of the reasons why the 2nd set of PP2s went onto the 5

Playstation 3

There is another tyre Michelin make which the UK site recommends but aren't in Aus yet.
Pilot Exalto

As you say, if a PP2 goes west, getting anothery may be no fun. Especially the miles Malibu does, you may even outlast the life-cycle of the PS3s.

I'm somewhat concerned Gerard that you have so many opened packets of condoms and yet, or so I'm told, no current "special" friend.

Very good points SPy. Life indeed is like a box of cabbages, just as long as it is a full box.

:lol: Yeah, you've got me. I bought those then realised they were all too small. As for why SPy goes through my rubbish and takes photos, well frankly, I'm a little concerned for him - only a little though.
