Nice work on the ps3s. They sound interesting...I certainly found the cdrives to be too harsh and noisy...although communicative as you say. How well priced are they? Are they made in Thailand like the Precedas?

I had the opportunity to really put the tyres through their paces through the national park tonight.
I was impressed.
Not as impressed as the frst time I tried semi slicks, or when Cdrives came on the market, but these are nice tyres.
They handle very well , are quiet, both in tread noise and when pushed hard, are very very comfortable over the rough stuff.
The conditions tonight were potentially deadly. The roads were clean and dry and offering enormous grip, but having had rain lately every 4th apex or braking spot had a wet spot from the stream of water running down it.
These tyres didn't budge off line one bit, so its clear they are a soft tyre and probably wont last long.
On the uphill hairpin that you can overcook and still live, I over cooked it massively just to see what would happen, and although the car chassis bucked back and forward n a wild state of understeer wheel spin, as soon as the speed was stabilised, it was back to business with no fuss whatsoever.
If I'm not mistaken, the ps3's have more grip on acceleration out of corners than the Cdrives in 60 profile.
either that or my donk is down on power.

Good point, worth explaining more.When you use terms like " I pushed it beyond the limit of adhesion"and "deliberately overcooking it in to a corner" I am confused as to why it is the tyres fault for letting go ?
.......The PS3 is suppost to be one of the best wet weather tyres out there! (even better than the PS2)
