Michelin Pilot Sport 3 - Now in India

These seem to be the sorta tyre one would put on a Abarth Punto.

Does anyone have any info regarding pricing/availability of say 225/50 R16?

Also, I assuming the 'Scorpion' alloys are a minimum 6J in width...

PS3 Lovers can rejoice! Michelin India website is updated with a new version of the PS3 called "PS3 ST". They are advertising long life as one of its properties. The earlier PS3s were kind of fast wearing. Of course buyers who buy these tyres tend push their car much harder than others.

Hope one can get latest manufactured PS3s now as Michelin had stopped importing PS3s post 2011. Sizes available remain the same as before.

Well it looks like its not a new version of PS3s after all and its just that the website has been revamped. I thought the 'PS3 ST' was new with the addition of the 'ST' tag. I just checked my 2011 made PS3s and they too have ST marked on them. The ST here stands for Summer Tyres I guess, unlike the P3ST where the ST stands for 'Silence Tuned'.

Sourced a set of these tires, thanks to Akshay.

Haven't driven much after the change, but initial drive feels good and smooth, haven't pushed the car yet.
