Both tyres look spot on, beautiful in fact

Just had to wonder why one of them is 66 weeks old. I didn't think they started making these until 2013.

They would have had a batch in production well before the release date. They need to get them made and distributed to retailers ready for day 1.

So I finally got the PP3's fitted today. Was pi$$ing down with rain so had to take it VERY. Steady on the way home. Even so, no 'moments' in the wet. Hoping for some good weather to get these scrubbed in and see how they perform

I'd say at a glance they look identical to my pair which had more recent dot codes so I'd not worry one bit about their age. They look good! Get 'em on in time for the heat wave we're meant to be having next week haha.

Tbh I think they look great and they'll be on as soon as my rather good Avon Storm (R) and Pirelli Angel (F) lose a couple more mm. Felt compelled to buy at less than £190 for the pair delivered.

Ah, the heat wave! A bit of mid-week madness is what we need this time of year

I'm still busy wearing out the existing tyres, they're nearly done. First week April the PP3s go on, come the end of April I should have good mileage on them.

Good to hear. I'll probably be needing new tyres around October, so will see how you guys find them and decide from there.
