    Same here, fitted the PS3s with Nitrogen air & after 50+ kms or so the ride is smooth & silky. Hopefully it will get better as more kms are clocked .....

    I put the PS3's through their paces in the dry today, and over all I must say that I am impressed that a $250 tyre performs as well as it's $750 predecessor (PS2).
    They feel a little different to the PS2's, the sidewalls aren't as stiff and this translates into a more comfortable ride. You feel it absorbing the bumbs in the corners a bit better but the directness of the steering isn't quite as sharp, this does not however affect the mechanical grip as they are on par.

    The big test will be in the wet, as Michelin claim they are much better. Not that there was anything wrong with the PS2's in the wet..
    $1000 well spent in my book
