W212 changing tyres

[chaoswellwisher]

Hi i'm currently running on 245 45 R17 Pirelli P7 Cinturato already hit 38k mark going to botak soon!

 

I got 3 options

 

1)Michelin PS3 $335 Autobacs

2)Michelin Primacy3 $387 Autobacs

3)Remain the same $238 Tyre Queen

 

Can anyone advice what is the difference among the 3 and why the difference in price is so far apart? Got lobang for any ws other than the above stated?

 

Thanks in advance!

Try getting a quote from our site sponsors, top93 or Ray S. I believe they would be able to give a better price

Out of the 3 choices I would go for PS3.

Thanks it looks like only top93 got facebook page! Ray S only got rim installation pictures in his forum.. I'll probably go check on top93!

I was there a few days ago. They have many tyres there. If you can't find what you want, there is also Leong Seng Tyres nearby.

 

Just FYI and reference, I changed my Pirelli P7 Cinturato which came with the car to Goodyear Eagle F1A2 for $250 each. Great tyres.

 

Of the ones you mentioned, PS3 is the more popular one among Merc drivers.

If the price is somehow ridiculously low, u may want to check its YOM, it might be old stock.

Tyre harden with age and imo one typically got to change with 2 or 3 years usage even if there is still thread left.

Thanks solar i'll be sure to check the YOM out. Is it printed on the sidewalls? Or it's on the stickers pasted on the tyre itself? Opps my P7 C has been on since 03/11 so far the compound still seems fine.

I may end up with PS3 given it's popularity and since i have never tried it before!

Month of manufacture is written on the side wall. Try not to buy a tyre that is more than 1 year old, unless the price is super attractive. 

As rubber hardens with age, especially faster in our sunny weather,it is not recommended to use a tyre that is more than 5 years old from the month of manufacture.

get the F1A2, you won't regret

 

call Loeng Seng, should be around 200-220 for 17"
