The U.S. market gets Michelin PSS as will the European market will get the same tires, but they will be called PS3 in Europe.

Looking at Tire Rack, they sell both PS3 and PSS, and both have different tread patterns... not sure whether they can be considered the same?

Yeah I see that there not also but theres some place (motor Trend and others) that have written them up as the same...I was just looking online at the Mich euro site. Not sure where the PS 3 fits in but the PSS was designed to be the PS 2 successor.

As near I can tell the PS 3 is their "eco-friendly" version of a high performance tire. Saw this on tire rack and the michelin site.

Really? At least $350 a set for me. I've bought about 7 sets of tyres from him now. Will definitely be sussing out local deals next time as prices seem to be more competitive as of late.
