    PSS is regarded as the direct replacement of PS2 and not the PS3.

    It will be great if Michelin is going to release PSS (assuming you were referring to them and not the PS3) with extra size configurations as currently, there is very little choice on the 17s and nothing for the 16s or 15s.

    Hi Kaz

    This is the reply I got from the Michelin Customer Engineering Manager

    "How desperate is the car for tyres?

    If you can wait until August/September this year, we are launching the two sizes below in Pilot Sport Cup2 which would be perfect for the car.

    So, if it was mine, and I could wait, I would. If it's urgent you could mix the PS2 & PS3, but they aren't the ideal combination"

    ContiSport 3s are still good "all round"* performance tyres - I've got them on my FD2 CTR, but I suspect the PS Cups will be better for the NSX...

    Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
    Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
    Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
    Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
    Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
    Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
    Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof

    Hi,

    I'm a newbie and have just bought a '91 NSX that needs new tyres. I can find 205/50R15 and 225/50R16 in 'W' speed rating but not 'Z'. Can anyone recommend a supplier that could help please? I've tried all the usual suspects - as well as the manufacturers - but can't find anything!

    Thanks.

    Welcome to the fourm and the owners club. I suspect you will be lucky to find the speed rating as fitted to the original NSX. I also have a '91 and use yokohama advan neova V rating on the front - I was more concerned about the compliance of the tyre and the handling character. Although you cant get the higher speed rating as long as you inform the insurance company you should be ok to run them on the road.

    Thanks Mike, it was the insurance company and speed rating I was worried about. I'll let them know and see what they say!

    Thanks for the advice.
