Only reason is iv killed my pay for this month lol but need something on the rears as they are barely legal now. False economy mate. Just bite the bullet and get MPSS2's for the rear as well (use your overdraft or credit card). Would hate to read a "crashed into a ditch" thread from you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Fine tyres MPS2. I have 275/40/18 on 18x9.5" rotas on the back of mine. Very grippy. Edit. Clearly beer and lateness is getting to me. This is a 370 thread and I didn't notice - I'm not worthy to comment - ignore :lol: Edited April 3, 2014 by ChrisB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulp4als Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 mps3 are actually cheaper and are A rated grip on mps3 compaired to B grip on mps2 that is on black circles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 MPS3 are nowhere near as good as MPS2. They're for smaller, lighter, less powerful cars, hence being available in the smaller sizes. They're still very good, but considering that the MPS2 are now superceded by the MPSS there's no reason to be looking at anything else in the Michelin range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clockwize Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Depends what you do with the car, as was discussed a few days ago in another thread, there is no point spending way more on a set of tyres that you will not make full use of.. unless you are going to push your tyres to the limit, you don't need to the qualities that make MPSS expensive..

Ekona Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Like class-leading grip in the wet, low road noise and wear rates, you mean? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwize Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 They may be a bit better in some respects but not enough to justify the extra cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clockwize Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Yeah as I said, depends what you'll use the car for as to wether its worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theheff Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 It's an extra £200 that could mean the difference between stopping or not. You'll be looking at double that minimum if you rear end someone as the budgets won't stop you in time. If I could get mpss for the s2000 I'd have them all day long. Was amazing on my 350. It's only when you swap from @*!# TIRES, just for you dan, to good ones that you realise how @*!# the previous ones were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 im not going into it again but the way people have talked over the last fews days anything over than MPSS donts stop you or puts you in a ditch what aload of horse @*!# 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theheff Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 That's not what's being said though is it. People are merely making the point that tyres are not an area of the car you should scrimp on. My point being it could cost more in the long run. The difference I'm talking about was between replacing the falken 452s that were already on the car or £200 more for a set I got mpss, £50 a wheel, and getting what are arguably one of the best tyres available. I'm sure in side by side tests the mpss would outstop and out grip the falkens. Even if they only stop you a foot shorter that is potentially £200 well spent.

StevoD Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 then why not run a semi road legal slick that would stop even quicker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theheff Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 As in the ad08? They will be going on my s2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
