Overall a good tyre. Wet and dry very confident but in the tight stuff on the limit produce bad understeer which lets the tyre down in my opinion.

I cannot fault them in the wet. I can throw it into corners like a lunatic and it sticks like glue. In the dry, once they have warmed up, fantastic. Holds on hard, and let's you know she's gonna let go a good bit of bravery before she does. Love them! Little bit noisy, but pretty good, tread wear has been outstanding. 1mm of tread gone in about 4k miles of hard driving.

Would buy again in a heartbeat.

Good in wet, unsatisfactory in dry (good straight line hold but mega slip at start, no possibility to turn&accelerate at the same time at all)

I have an Audi A6 Avant Quattro, and these tyres seem to wear fairly quickly compared to my previous experience of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym.2. For a premium tyre, there is quite a lot of road noise from them, but grip is very good in all conditions. However, when it comes to the next replacement set, I will be going back to the Goodyear's as they are £25 a corner cheaper, quieter, better fuel economy and last much longer than PS3's. For anyone with Quattro / 4WD you need to ensure you have the same on each corner / front and back to ensure the best overall handling, plus a proper 4-wheel alignment.

Coming from Bridgestonet turanza, I needed and found more wet tracktion. Also much more grip in both wet and dry. These tires just claw into corners and roundabouts. Amazing andere fun. Unfortunatelly I miss the precise steering and wear is high when you have fun.

I had these tyres for 2,5 years and 25000 km. The perfomance is really good both on wet and dry conditions. I mostly drove the tyres on motorways and a bit on city traffic conditions. The wear was high and in fact the sidewall of the front tyre was torn so I have to replace them now. I would only suggest this tyre only on driver who do a few km per year.

I had PS3 runflats fitted recently to replace the oem Bridgestone potenza runflats which came factory fitted to my BMW m135i. What a difference!!! I'd heard that the Bridgestones were awful, but I cannot believe how much better the car is in all respects with the ps3s. I'd assumed that the poor steering/ride quality/grip/handling/feedback were due to it being my first experience with runflats. It really does feel like a completely different car now and I'm just so sorry that I didn't replace them two years ago. I'm really struggling to understand how BMW, who I've always respected, could ever have fitted these awful BRIDGESTONE POTENZA runflats to even a lawnmower. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

After visiting this site and looking at all the reviews at the time, I decided to play it safe and get Michelin PS3's fitted.

To start, the grip and feed back from the tyre to the wheel is superb, especially if you are like me and enjoy occasionally putting your foot down when you find an appealing road.

What surprised me was that this superb feedback remains throughout the life of the tyre.

Another surprise to me was the life of the tyre, given that I have just changed them with 3mm of tyre left, after 26,000 miles, 15,000 miles on the Motorway and the rest on a combination of road surfaces.

Now the downsides...

The tyre noise to start with was fine, but increased with tyre wear, however I must say that I hadn't noticed this until I changed my tyres recently.

What I did notice though was that as my tyre wear increased, the tyre grip in the wet fell off significantly, so I am glad that the feedback was superb because under hard braking it started to lose grip.

I hope this helps for anyone who has a similar powered AWD car.

Excellent grip both dry and wet.

The PS3's were factory fitted from new. After 12,000 miles the fronts still have over 5mm of tread left and the rears over 6. This from a combination of local short and long European journeys and everything else in between.

We switched to PS3 after Pirelli Rosso which we found to wear quickly and easily damaged. Often lasted under 5000 miles. The SP3 set felt better driving in all conditions except wet. They lasted 27000 miles wearing evenly. Very pleased. Now have SP4 set. These feel better than the SP3 in all conditions.

Very good grip in dry and wet conditions. Driving in curves, I found them a bit softer compared to Good Year Assymetric 2 F1. In terms of noisy levels, I would say that were low. The front tyres lasted about 7,000 miles and therefore I had to bring the back tyres in front. They lasted a bit more compared to Assym 2 F1. On the road, I enjoyed more the Assymetric 2 F1 compared to PS3. However, If you are looking for a comfortable sport tyre, then the Pilot Sport 3 should be your choice. My next choice was Michelin Primacy 3.
