Goodyear Assymetrics vs Michelin SP3s vs Falken Ziex 912 .. opinions pls
Following on from my previous thread moaning about the ride quality of my car I'm prob going to be changing my current tyres ( the Falkens ) I find the Falkens noisy, hard and understeery in the wet. My tyre size is 215/45/17 . Always been a fan of Goodyear F1 GSD3s but not heard about the new Assymetrics.. And someone said the Michelin PS2s were good and quiet..now its PS3s.
Anyone's opinion on these would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve

You mean the PS (Pilot Sport) 3's? 
They would get my vote over either of the other 2, was not impressed with all the hype people gave the goodyears after fitting them on a different model of car, the Vredsteins were better that were on there previously, but have always rated Michelins highly and the PS3's seem to storm tyre tests at the moment

Too much flex on them
hence they had "issues" (even on the xl ones).PS3's are far better by the looks, but ill stick with my trusty RE070's
proper tyres (I just need some bridgestone blizzak things for winter 
)Tony

I've had Goodyear's on all my Impreza's(on my 3rd now)and i rate them highly.My current Impreza had Pilot Sport on it when a bought it and imo have the same performance has the Goodyear's but when it came to replacing them,they were more expensive than the Goodyear's and there wasn't enough performance different to warrant the extra money.

Throwing another brand into the mix....... Toyo T1R, went from goodyear Assymetrics to Toyos, the Toyos perform so much better.
Won't be using anything else now.

There is none in the UK at the Mo and I think the next batch will have a new last name They were A "budget tyre" with "Performance Tyre"handling qualities 
Tyres have 3 factors, weight of car, tyre size and your usage
A 215x40x17 Tyre that Performs well on fast road, dry & wet on a Classic doesnt mean that it still works well on a Newage 225x40x18 in the same conditions.
all I can say about 225x40x18 T1R's they are Black, Round and don't tramline. they turned my well handling T20 into a Tyre squealing understering wreck. A "Performance Tyre" with "budget tyre" handling qualities
IMHO
For a performance tyre on a newage STi GY F1's or Pilot sport 2's
