I too just replaced my A/S (Cooper RS3 or whatever) with PS AS4. Couldn’t be happier, well until I put the regular PS4s back on. There’s a lot more grip than the Coopers.
Granted I have a PP2 but the following mods made all the difference for tightening up the car across the board:
Stop the Hop Starter Kit 2015+
Extreme G-Trac K-Member Brace
I daily my PP2 and need a set of new A/S to get me through 3 seasons where NJ can be sub 30 in the mornings from fall thru spring. My current Cooper 305/30 R19 RS3 A/S are approaching 5 yr old and I do not want to press the tire until the tire depth. It looks like TireRack no longer carries...
I daily my PP2 and drive it in everything except snow. When I burn though the Cooper A/S I will purchase the PS4 A/S as replacements. I don’t think they come in 305 so I might step down to 295. But without a doubt, the PS4S handle lightyears better than the Coopers in everything above 45 degrees.
Yep agreed. Michelins feel better than the comparable Pirelli and Conti and I won’t waste my money on anything else. My PP2 has 305 Cooper A/S for the winter and 305 F 315 R PS4S for the other 3 seasons.
The PS4S are not over hyped at all.
@junits15 still hasn’t specified what is better in his...
