mps 3 tyre options

[ajak1]

Hello everyone,

I am new to the site. Have owned a 3 mps Black since Dec 2008 (new). so far have clocked 30K plus and I still have not manged to get the smile off my face until today !!

Just had the car serviced where i was advised the4 boots need replacing. I have had a lot of fun with the OEM material but at $556 a boot I thought that I should do some research on what is available. I have read the threads on this site and thought it would be good to provide an update:

so far this is what I have found in the OEM size of 215/45R18 (Sydney prices):

Falken ZE912 $310.00
Nankang AS1 $210.00
Pirelli Pzero $385.00
Hankook Ventus $290.00
yokohama Advan Sport $405.00
Bridgestone Poternza $556.00

Does anyone have any comment to make on any of these brands. At this point I am leaning towards the pirelli's as I have been told that they are slightly better the the Yoko's but not as good at the OEM bridgestones.

Any help/experience you can provide would be most appreciated.

I inherited Wardski's wheels that he mentions on that first page of that thread and I completely agree with him the Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalins are worth the cash. I have never felt safer in a vehicle.

Maybe not as relevant, but I have Adrenalins as well...love em and would happily recommend them.

You have them at an expensive price though, mine were only $365 a corner (235/40/18 though)

I have recently replaced my 2 front tyres with the Potenzas. I picked them up for around $470 from Kmart Phillip & speak with Paul or Steve & tell them Sam sent you......Not bad blokes at all & will do a decent job...........Anyways see how you go......have a good weekend.............laters

I replaced my fronts too (finally) I got 225/45 Potenzas for $230/tyre. I happen to know the guys from the tyre shop though.
