PS3 is a Max Performance tyre. Primacy HP will be at best a Ultra High Performance category tyre. The PS3 will definitely be a better sports tyre, but may wear out a lot faster. I have no idea why the Primacy HP are so expensive and who would actually pay for them..

I love how cheap the tyres are in this size. So much to choose from. You must do a lot of driving to go through so many tyres already? How many KMs did those tyres last?

I'm also looking at the Pirelli Cinturato P1 and Dunlop Direzza DZ102.. The PS3s are definitely the best performance for buck, but I'm a bit worried I may go through them really quickly as I like to drift at track days.
