Standard driving, wheels are all aligned correctly and 11,000 miles with 2.5mm left! Absolutely rubbish at £130 each, would not buy again at £50 each. Switched to Kumho at £75 a pop, we will see but they seem good up to now.

I have had all three evolutions of these tires. (PS, PS2 and PS3) running on the same car e46 320d sport
The PS3's are by far the best for grip in both dry and wet conditions.
Full set of PS3's put on 2 years ago (Approx 20k very spirited miles) and amazed when i took the wheel off last week to do brakes to find that there is nearly 4-5mm of thread left on the fronts but the rears only have just over 2mm so need replaced.
Overall I would recommend to anyone that likes to enjoy their car and does quite high mileage. You really do pay for what you get and I would gladly fork out time and time again for these amazing tires.

Highs: This side of a Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 or Bridgestone RE-11, the grip from the PS3s is phenomenal. Where the KUMHO ECSTA SPTs squealed in protest around the turns of Clark International Speedway, the PS3s just kept their poise and transitioned between quick left-right turns very well. Stiff shoulders and sidewalls give very direct steering but are pliant enough for a good ride. I find myself having trouble believing these are street tires rated for 320 treadwear, such is the depth of ability.
Lows: With tires, I've learned that generally speaking, you get what you pay for. That said, these tires fetch a pretty penny. If directional tread is your thing, the PS3s won't appeal to your eyes. Finally, these tires can get loud at an 80-100 km/h cruise even with full tread depth.

Massive improvement over the Dunlop SP sport Max I had before, these PS3's are one of the quietest sets of tires I have run, excellent grip in the dry, almost as good in the wet. Overall a good Tire which I have just repaced as now down to 3.5mm after 23k which is not quite as long lasting as I had hoped for given the premium brand and price.
Only negative to watch out for is driving in the snow, almost as useless as BMW run flats, I realise they are not winter tires but the tread pattern is nit at all suited to the snow, especially cornering!
I would buy another set of them as they have been good overall, however wanted to try the Goodyear Eagle F1 Aysmmetric 2's which seem to be highly rated in wet and dry. Will update this review once I have more than 5 miles on them:-)

First 1000 km and they are great, extremely better than the contisport 1 i had before.
Excellent braking!!!! I drove them over mountainous roads and they stuck to the road incredibly.
No rain driving yet but i hoping for great driving then too.

Having replaced OE Michelin Exaltos (2 sets so far) with PS3 I've been somewhat underwhelmed... 32000 miles and they are shot! I got 44000 out of the Exaltos - no longer available in this size :-( PS3 seem to have more rigid sidewalls so run 'harshly' and with more noise and less Wet Grip. Going for a mid-range (KUMHO) next time due to spiralling motoring costs - I'll just have a slow down a bit, I guess ;-)

I used these on a 'track orientated' Skoda Octavia 4x4 (230bhp). Massive grip in the dry, massive grip in the wet, progressive and quiet. Huge levels of grip right upto the wear markers (and actually past them). Even in the wet I had full confidence in these tires, grip was down slightly compared to dry conditions but tbh, not a great deal worse. Reasonable in the snow, but then I guess these aren't a 'snow tire' so no worries there. Highly recommend these tires and will definatley buy again.

happen to burst it today with a nail.
lucky it was just abt to finish its life span.. clocked abt 40,000km on it.
it serves me well until tdy i decide to change to F1A2.
good grip for PS3. price is also at the higher side.
will buy it again if my F1A2 wear out fast.
