15's or 16's?
Camskill - 16" - £115 each plus £26 delivery (https://www.camskill.co.uk/m62b0s34...Eff_:_D_Wet_Grip:_A_NoiseClass:_B_Noise:_71dB)

That seems massively overpriced, have a look on the usual tyre sites. Camskill for example:
205s £113:
195s £103:
Beaten to it. Camskill are usually cheapest when I've looked for tyres recently, mail order only though.

They're hard to beat on any price really, BlackCircles come quite close some of the time if they've got a promo on.

Occasionally tyres on the drive have good deals when you factor in the fitting.

PS3 is positively ancient now though.
In the 16” I’d go with the Continental premium contact 6, that’s a tyre which is a match for the Michelin ps4 in performance and it’s cheaper than the ps3 too.
In 15” you’re a bit buggered by a lack of choice

I've asked this a couple of times but yet to come across someone who's made the swap-
Continental premium contact 6 tyres 205 45 16 clio 182 size review
Anybody used the above tyre in 205/45/r16 Interested to know how they compare to the michelin pilot sport 3 in the same size. I like the ps3 but there not quite as sharp as the original michelin pe2 tyres. It would be nice if the sidwalls were firmer than the ps3 but dont want to buy a pair to...

Continental Premium Contact 6
Has anyone tried these? The name seems to bely the fact this isn't really a touring tyre and is in fact very capable. I've had Michelin PS3's for a while now but might give the Premium Contact 6 a go next time I'm due a change. I'm aware we aren't spoilt for choice in our size when it comes to...

I don’t, but Tyre Reviews really rate it for handling and steering feel

Recently fitted a pair of PS3s on my 182 – ancient tyres, for an ancient car, but they perform exceptionally well. Had Continental PC 6 and PS4 on my Proceed GT; both were excellent.
Tried Yokohama, Kumho, and Avon on the 182, but nothing felt right. As soon as you meddle with the factory setup, everything changes. They're like little go-karts; you feel everything. Our roads are pants remember.
For everyday road use, keeping it factory with genuine parts and Michelin tyres; Clio Sports are just sensitive to changes.
Edit : for clarity Avons were noisy, Yokohamas tramlined everywhere and Kumhos got a little too hot when pushing on.

Yeah I know as I contacted Jon directly through pistonheads referencing the tests he did but he did also say the feel can vary through different sizes.I don’t, but Tyre Reviews really rate it for handling and steering feel

I've been reluctant to try it as the PS3's come in an 87 load but most others including the PC6 come in 83.
I don't doubt they'd objectively perform better but it's the feel I'd be worried about, hence I need other people I try them first...

Nothing wrong with sticking with what you know and like if maintaining the same feel is a priority over outright performance.
