    New tyres for 2010 - Bridgestone, Continental, Michelin, Pirelli

    A raft of new tyres will be released by the major players this year.

    In alphabetical order:

    Bridgestone
    Potenza RE050 -> Potenza S001
    Press release - 18/12/2009 (Japanese), Minisite - Flash (Japanese)

    Continental
    ContiSportContact 3 -> ContiSportContact 5P
    ContiSportContact 3 -> ContiSportContact 5 (due 2011)
    Press release - 07/12/2009, Presentation - PDF file

    Michelin
    Pilot Exalto/Pilot Preceda -> Pilot Sport 3
    Press kit - PDF file, Spider chart - PS2 vs. PS3

    Pirelli
    P Zero Corsa -> P Zero Trofeo (successor?)
    Web page

    Should be interesting to see how the first three perform against each other.

    I am hoping that Tirerack.com gets some stock of PS3's in the next 3 months.
    If not, I'll have to wait till next year.

    Actually I will be interested to hear what you think about these tyre's. I have just swapped mine around and have the S Drives on the front of the VR6 now. They are amazing, but I have driven on those Pirelli's P Zero's that is, and found they were amazing. Im about to buy an Alfa Romeo 147 GTA, so pending your report, might be a set of PS3's on there.

    You'll hear as review much sooner that I expected.
    Thanks to an idea from Swallowtail I ordered some PS3's from Bobjane @ $250 a corner. At that price it's a 1k saving from what I pay when I order PS2's from the US!!

    I hope that they are at least as good as the PS2's, otherwise they'll end up in the shed with the dunlops and goodyears.
