Which new tires for street driving?

[Steve M]

Yes. I tried the search first.

Just bought a set of Signature wheels with 315/30/20 888R’s and want to replace them with a street tire and they will be a square set of 315/30/20’s. Which tire are you using? NWF here so rain is a definitely a consideration.
Thoughts?

I really don't think there is a better tire for the street than the MPSS 4s.

I was going to suggest Conti Extreme Contact Sport02 as being right there with the Michelin PS4S but in a 315-20 they only come 315/35/20 and not the 30 profile you’re looking for. Michelin PS4S is a fantastic street tire and will do well in the rain.

Second the MPS4S! They are actually quite comfortable on the road cruising, and still provide the best in class grip when we want to send it in the mountains! I have actually tracked my car with they before and they do great as well!

Is the PS5 available in our size(s) yet? Supposed to be slightly better than PS4

I just heard that the replacement for the PS4 is either out or coming soon. Might want to wait a bit as they are supposed to be a significant improvement. Michelin Pilot Sport 5 (PS5)

Here’s some info on the PS5. Note there’s not many sizes available yet but that should change fairly quickly as they continue to roll the PS5 out

+1 for the Pilot Sport 4S. I've had them on my car for a couple years, and they're pretty great in all conditions, other than below 40 degrees.

A buddy of mine is the design engineer for the Pilot Sport series at Michelin. He says the new Pilot Sport S 5 is going to be worlds better than the PS4S!

 

[Steve M]

Appreciate the info everyone!

 

[Evolvd]

It’s could be some time before the PS5s are offered in our sizes. If you need tires now I’d get the PS4s.

 

[m3incorp]

I will have to jump on the Michelin PS4s bandwagon for those sizes.

Okay funny one here. I bought the 4S's as my rainy day/cool weather tire for my Boss 302. Like them so much I only go back to slicks when the conditions are nearly perfect. 4S's are great tires and I think really affordable.

I agree. The 4S tires are incredible.
I can even push my cars pretty hard in cold temps and rain. Makes no differnace.
I like them so much I put them on my S2000, Audi RS3, GT350 (for street and track days), and once the cup 2’s die on my GT500 I’ll get them for it if the 5’s are available yet.
I think that will be a big upgrade also. The Cup 2 tires make the GT500 a death trap if they aren’t up to temperature. Which sometimes takes forever living in Indiana. I really can’t take the risk of driving the car currently if the temps aren’t at least 60 degrees out.
4S’s would eliminate a lot of that risk for sure.

If you go with 315/30/20 PS4S's, I recommend to get the FP (Ford Performance) version that were specially made for the GT500 and originally came on the car. They have an "FP" on the sidewall.
