Come highly recommended on Hsv.uk for vxr8 and more importantly the Monaro which is allegedly more closely related to the omega.
We'll see. :)

My last plod came with them fitted and wheels were very quickly swapped with a spare set shod with Runway Enduros... wouldn't voluntarily fit them again :-\

If you've already ordered them, it's a bit late for recommendations... ;D

Not pressed the final button yet, seen something on the tv that suggested that you went to the wall, without pressing the final button; likely hood of additional discounts if you hang on................ :-\ :-\

Clearly I refer to the fact that you say you still have cems favourites fitted. In May. Although, as your oop North and it probably still gets down to below 7c at 4am at times up there, then that's probably all fine. ::) :y

Back to original point ::)
Ignoring the obvious suspension deficiencies on the black estate, that has the Michelin PS3s fitted, albeit 235/40/18, no complaints thus far, but have only done 800 miles or so in it :-\
-
There are some Michelin traits that put people off. Longevity in grip level being the main one. Along with cost, partly negated by the price from this particular supplier, but plus fitting of course.
There are some reports that this specific model doesn't hold its grip level since the same time last year having done minimal miles since. 1000 or so. Something sort of touched on here with more durable models.
But we'll give them a go and see what happens. :)
-
Oh, to add, na in 235 it seems. Still listed on the Michelin web site but no longer available.
245 are it seems. Unless I get an email Monday morning.
-
The pic on the site implies they start out life as clown tyres ???
As with everything though, a full life report is needed, so someone has to try them.
-
Indeed, first impressions in a week or two. ;)
-
Will they be going on the front axle?
-
Aaeye! :y
-
I have PS3s on the M3.. they're a bit tramliney but at least part of that is suspension setup in my case (especially as I've noticed the NSF is a bit bald on the outside!). Bags of grip, though - certainly more grip than I have balls.
-
What fickin difference does it make when you spend half your time dodging potholes? The roads in places up here are almost undriveable.
-
Aaeye! :y
Look forward to hearing/reading your thoughts. Would come in useful when I'm back in an Omega!
