Default PS2's to replace noisy Toyo t1s?

Now the 18" wheels I bought came with Toyo T1s and they are so bloody noisy it's driving me mad Got to change them to something quieter, had T1R's and they're the same so was thinking about the Mich Pilot PS2.

Any views appreciated please.............

Cheers
Neil

Mich Pilot PS2, fantastic tyre in all respects.

Very quiet and make PD springs more comfortable than on the factory Bridge Potz re050's.

One more vote for the PSII and they stand much more than every other tire I have tried!

The uniroyal rainsports I had were excellent, but they didn't last very long!!

Had the PS2 on for a year now and now regretted it for one minute. Rears still look like new and wear on fronts is not much. Had Toyo's before as they were already fitted to the alloys when I bought them. Didn't have much confidence in them in the wet compared to the Mich's.

Ok, thanks. The cheapest I've been quoted for a set of 4 225/40/18 is £588 fitted (kwikfit incl. 25% off ) . Strikes me as pricey even though they are up there with the most expensive tyres.


Few more to try yet...................

Smilbertilgy have you tried the PS2's? If you haven't you should. I liked the Bridge Potz SO3's on my old car but **** they were noisy, and so are the factory standard RE050's, not to mention being ****e in the wet or cold.

Jonesy, don't know where you are in the country but I had 4 225/40/18 fitted with chrome valves for £550 from 'elite' in Rainham Essex.

Got some more quotes that were around the 570 mark, phoned kwikfit and they're now going to do them form 533 all in. get 'em done next weekend and can't wait to drive around without the constant drone of the tyres.

533 sounds very good indeed.

Kwikfit are doing 25% off when you buy 4 tyres. I was quoted £500 fitted and balanced for michelin ps2.

Extra load is a harder side wall so the tyre works better & does not roll around on the rim. This is what you want
