Brother Hung says PS2 is the best, he says

PSS (aka PS3 depending on the market) is a con, like Windows Vista compared to XP(PS2)
something new but not necessarily better, people are starting to hoard them.

i just know that my turn-ins after sharp braking are 100 times better than my Good year Asym Eagle F1,
ride is more subtle -
no comparison at all.

ps3 is not a upgrade to ps2 and it cost a lot cheaper too

PS2 has softer rubber, so the drawback is tread wear.......the RE will have a longer life,
heard the new CONTI SC are very good as well, incl better wet grip.
still think the 19inch tyres are overly expensive though!!
