Here's my review:

 

It's been 10000km since my dad Changed the front tyres into Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (PS3).  Previously, the Civic FD2's came FACTORY FITTED with Michelin Pilot Preceda 1.  The latter's a very NOISY tyre, so-so at wet handling and very good in Dry Handling.  The wear's even. Comfort: a bit bumpy at times.


Now for the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (PS3), the tyre is MUCH MUCH Quieter, the Wet Grip's EXCELLENT, The Dry Handling is also EXCELLENT.  Again, the wear's even.  High speed stability's excellent.  Comfort EXCELLENT, note that the Civic FD2's running on low profile 215/45R17.


Would I recommend this tyre.  A RESOUNDING YES!  It's voted the BEST TYRE in Autoworld forum and is the most Active thread @ 1496 posts and counting.  I dare to say it's ON PAR with the more expensive Toyo T1R.

Before I go, here's a parting video from Autocar India.

    I just gotten a new set of the newest PS3. I agree with your praises to an extent but not completely.
    I driven a similar car (my brother's. His with Continental Sport Contact 5 and I do feel his tyres are better than mine in certain areas! Noise and bumpiness are the most critical areas where normal road users will encounter for everyday driving which I feel the CSC3 to be more refined.
    High speed stability seem pretty much the same.

    To me, its a matter of preference between the two. Overall for the selling price, I wished I taken the CSC3 instead for those long distance trips!!!

    The Forex auto pilot works to help a person buy, trade and sell shares in order to increase capital. It is a piece of software that will help you deal with the markets well and leave you with extra cash. A lot of reviews about the Forex Auto buy trustpilot reviews only tell you the bare minimum of what this software really involves and leaves a lot of the questions that a person may have about the forex auto pilot without answers.
