The PP2's were new on the car when I got it, and the Pzero's were near new. So far they've done ~45,000k, which I think is pretty good?

Anyway, I stopped in at Jax QF at Browns Plains:
Michelin PS3's: $259
Pirelli P7's: $259
Maxxis IPro's: $249

Bob Jane Browns Plains:
Michelin PS3's: $289
Falken Ze912: $209

These prices were without any haggling (since I was just shopping around), but I reckon I could of screwed em down a little further.

What would you guys go for? Do the PS3's have the 2-ply sidewalls like the PP2's? I do like the look and feel of the PP2's, i'm assuming the PS3's would have comparable performance?
You PZero's had done 45K already? you probably get another 10k out of them at most I reckon, PZero's aren't exactly the most hard wearing compound.

Anyhow, I heard good things about the Falken ZE912, it's like a performance tire on the cheap.

I'll personally never buy Michelin or Pirelli... Since the "Premium" priced tyre you buy have every chance of being made out of the same factory as them kumho's or maxxis or whatever, and some of those cheaper tires work just as well if not better (eg: Nexen, the cheap Korean tire manufacturer used to make Michelin's for them...). Each to their own i guess.
