Michelin PSS or Vredesteins.....both great tyres for the size and in general.
Both have good grip wet and dry,etc and last ok too.
Only thing between them is price usually.

I wouldn't bother with the PSS now that the PS4 is about personally. The PS4 is much better in the wet and has 95% of the dry performance according to all the reviews I've seen (quite a lot!). Michelin themselves say the PS4 is effectively the PSS replacement, and the PS4S is another step up but only available 19" plus

Was going by personal experience,nothing else.
I know that PS4/ps4s are effectively the pss' replacement,but have read they are not quite as good in some ways to the pss'.
Haven't tried the newer ones,so can't comment....
As for the Goodyear's,have found the original f1s, and the assymetric 2's decent/good,but have been slightly disappointed in the newer assy 3's I now have on the front.

Costco doing £100 off 4 tyres at the mo - They do Michelin, and I think Goodyear, and their prices are already very competitive. Was in the monthly flyer that came today.

Although personally, I'm a Pirelli/Conti person.

Oh absolutely, I couldn't say which is better either as I have no personal experience, just from reading that it only seems to be outright dry performance where the PS4 falls behind the PSS, of course the PS4S beats it hands down everywhere though

I buy whatever the latest version of Pilot Sports is. I have had multiple sets of PS2/3 on a variety of cars and currently have PS3 and PS4.

I've driven enough Pirelli P600/6000/PZero to know I don't like them. Found Toyo T1R good but very fast wearing. Yokohama Advan great in the dry, not so in the wet.

If you're using the car all year round then I'd also recommend a set of winter tyres. Everything I've driven has had a noticeable drop off as temperatures dropped. Dedicated winter tyres are on a whole different level.

The Costco offer starts on the 19th and is on the Goodyears only so no good if your looking at Michelin OP (and anyone else for that matter) also you do have to have a warehouse membership even though the offer is online only which is unusual for tyres at Costco. Normally you get the same offer on tyres when you walk in the tyre bay at the store.

I had a bit of a panic having just ordered PS4s through Black circles for fitting this weekend!

Same, did you use the code to get £40 off?

[mjennings23]

Indeed, used the £40 off so came to £450 fitted I believe. Would have cancelled and gone with Goodyear's from Costco but from reading the AS3 isn't as good as the PS4 when driving harder, perfect for crusing though.

So, it does mean I'll get my dad down to get some on his car, good benefit there!

Michelins FTW!

Michelin’s all the way bud.

[Mr Whippy]

Also F1 A3 now have crap sidewall rim protection vs A2.

And the sidewalls are thinner/weaker in my view, not as good in the event of a nip on a kerb.

[Matt_3.0Si]

I've had Conti CS5s and Michelin PS4s on mine. Far prefer the Michelins.

Costco were by far the cheapest for PS4s when I got mine (about a month ago) by the way. They were £50 cheaper than Event tyres in the first place, and I got a £50 store voucher to boot. Borrowed a friend's membership card, so that didn't cost me anything either.

Does no one use/recommend the Bridgestone Potenza RE050As?

[Rusky]

Avons seem to tick the box
