ross27 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Im i the market for front tyres, and ive always heard good reviews on the MPS2 & 3. Never had any experience of the MPSS but everywhere i read reviews, everyone is raving about them. If this is any interest to people just now, Oponeo is the cheapest i can find: Oponeo: 245/40/19 98 Y - £161.00 each 275/35/19 100 Y - £196.00 each Total - £714.00 Tyre Leader: 245/40/19 98 Y - £163.89 275/35/19 100 Y - £200.89 Total - £729.56 Its also worth noting that if you are happy to use tyres manufactured in 2010, Tyre Leader have the 275/35/19 at £185.19. Anyone got any other places worth checking? I will be placing an order in the next week or so! Quote
Ekona Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Try Asda tyres. No, really. Excellent prices that include fitting. Quote

ross27 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Try Asda tyres. No, really. Excellent prices that include fitting. ASDA: 245/40/19 98 Y - £196.20 (FITTED) 275/35/19 100 Y - £216.60 (FITTED) Total - £825.60 Unfortunately they cannot compete when it comes to the MPSS. Edit: I am getting local quotes of £8-10 per tyre for fitting. Edited January 15, 2015 by ross27 Quote
JoshC Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Given my other thread I just posted, are these the most highly recommended tyres then? I never track the car and rarely get the chance to go for 'enthusiastic' drives up in the mountains so will I really benefit from the higher end price bracket or would I be perfectly fine with replacing what's on there now (hankooks) and a few hundred quid?

Ekona Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 It's not just the performance: These tyres are outlasting everything else by a huge margin, so they may cost 20% more but last 50% longer. They actually work out as the cheapest to own, long term. 1 Quote
sipar69 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I like the look of em too. Definitely getting another set when my current tyres need changing. 1 Quote

Will go for these then! Probably just front for now! Looking at a few websites they have the MPSS and MPS3 too. What's the difference, MPSS the ones to go for yeah? Quote
Ekona Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 MPS3 are lower spec than the old MPS2, so 100% the MPSS. 1 Quote

I've found tyre leader to be the cheapest website for the MPSS, I've just bought a full set of 19's for £680 Quote

JoshC Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Cheapest I can find for the front 2 is on both Oponeo and Tyre leader. Both at £308 for 2! Any reccomendations with regards to the better service from these companies? Quote
GIXXERUK Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 anyone know if the reinforced mpss are noisier ? Quote
gstraw Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Ive bought tyres from tyreleader in the past and its been a great experience. highly recommend them 1 Quote
oldskool-b-boy Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I just put a set of mpss on my 370z, got them for about £830 on blackcircles fitted locally in Glasgow . I noticed an amazing change in grip from the verging on slick (worn) tyres I had on. There is a noticeable increase in noise though. Quote

ioneabee Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 what did you have before ? I previously had Sesantas and the MPSS I'm finfing are quieter Quote
oldskool-b-boy Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Stock Bridgestones but had Dunlop on the nearside rear. Quote
