In theory the Contis should be slightly grippier, the tread bocks definitely feel soft, the 4S have a treadwear rating of 300, contact sport 7s are 240, sidewalls seem stiffer which is a good thing imo
But the PS4S has dual tread compound anyway so it is quite complicated.

I think at most the variances were 10% in testing, you will get more than that variation from a worn v new tyre anyway.

Conti - better braking (ideal on the front) and slightly better steering feel (probably down to the sidewalls). PS4S better resistance to aquaplaning.

Different cars also suit different tyres too imo, so I know the reviews are to be taken with a pinch of salt. The reviews did help my decision but the 4S’ were also £60 each more which helped a lot too lol
I can’t see me regretting it, the Pirellis were understeer city!

I had P zero Corsa's on my Evora, they were fantastic until about 5C at which point they turned to wood and provide no grip whatsoever.

Mustang GT Manual 2017 - now sold ☹
i had mine valeted Tuesday, drove early morning into work yesterday and the sun was rising, it was a glorious time to be driving. Thought to myself, i should have plugged in the oil temperature gauge then i clocked the outside temperature, -1degC..... Aye perfect sunny clear blue skies, fugging freezing!
Also discovered my faraday pouch has lost effectiveness likely through being squashed in my jacket pocket so have had to squeeze both keys into the spare one then tested and yep car doesn't open. New pouch order though it's a pair so at least i'll have a couple of spares. Lesson here kiddies, test your security once in a while eh..

Now I know what a faraday pouch does and why sometimes when I get in the car and leave it in the pouch the car says "can't find the key" LOL

but if the fob is in the pouch how did you get in the car..... Shurely shome mishtake ? :wink: Us pre facelifters cannot turn off the keyless entry nor do i think we can use the latest keyfobs that shutdown after inactivity. Pish security built in, should be a tag line. Think I'll copyright that lol

I took the key out of the pouch, pressed unlock, got in the car. Then put the key back in the faraday pouch. Honestly, I never knew what it was, just thought it was a carrying case. I'm dumb as driftwood.
