Michelin PS3 Tyres - How Much?

DiscoAtom · Postby **DiscoAtom** » Sat Apr 23, 2011 8:26 pm

Hi Guys,

I intend to buy a used NC Mx-5 but the one I'm looking at needs new tyres. How much should I expect to pay for a set of Michelin PS3 tyres?

Thanks..
Alan

Yep, that's the price for 225/45/17 from Jax.
The 205/45/17 will be cheaper in all likelihood.

Sorry would expect so but much more costly as the 225, are a Michy special,at least my quote showed that, $289 from memory for 205's..
The keyboard letter betwee b/m has packed up so sorry for Bob JaMe !!

I put Yoko 215's S drives for $234.

Who is Jax?
Do they have a dealer in Geelong?

Thankyou.
They are also doing a deal on Peralli P7's at $134 each.
They say they would not be as fast as the Michelin but would be a high quality road tyre.
As I plan to have a second set of wheels (at the moment), the speed is not important.
Has anybody had any experience with the P7's? Are they quite, vibration free, comfortable, long lasting?

Got 4 Mich PS3s from Jax in High St Prahran 2 weeks ago for about 280 each, and they were happy for me to put on and tension my wheelnuts. Quieter then the original Michelins.

Eventually got the PS3s from a West Ryde dealer for $316 each. Maybe I should have got the non-standard size of 235/40R17 which is going for $270.

Following is a link that indicates the braking distance for the NC series is superior to some of the supercars.
