Thanks Arling!

hehe... actually the price on tirerack is a tad more expensive. it works out to be around HKD3642. I can get them through my tyre shop at 3650. But that's with shipping. I guess I will stick with the tyre shop here. I just need to wait a week or so. My friend and I will be placing the order with Techart later today... so I think the timing should be fine.

Anyway, thanks for the offer!

Oh one extra question... why is the Continental one so much cheaper? the PSII is at 467 bucks and the conti is only 252 bucks?

that's just Michelin buddy. Michelin is always about 25% more on all their tires compare to other brand. IMO, PS2 is superior than Conti but can not justify the price difference.

That's what I say. I'm running the PS2's after the PZeros. Yea PS2 is nicer but heck, you'll still wasting rubber in the end, especially in the lousy bay area traffic. Save the extra money for track tires instead.

I can't imagine leaving a porsche unguarded in the streets of HK.
Vinnam, does that double parked mercedes belong to your body/car-protector?

It's quite popular in paris to have car-protectors showing up in their own mercedes.

As a matter of fact... it's not a merc... it's a mazda M6... and yes it's mine and it's there to avoid my neighbours accidentally denting my car. But so far both the C4S and the M6 are dents free. Thank God.

One sad note though, Techart ran out of stock for the 19" Formula GTS. So the tyres will be on hold for a while.

Unless it's changed.........your choices in 315/25 are Yok, Conti2, and now PS2.
Mich PS2 is a superior tire, and decent wearing (IMHO), and I was happy to change from the Contis this past spring. The Yoks probably fit an 11J rim least best of the 3.
