I have a 2018 PP1 with magneride and went from 4S to the a/s 3+ since it is my DD. There is a little softer ride with the a/s 3+. Enough that my wife noticed. FYI: I would rather have the 4S for their performance but honestly I haven’t felt a difference with daily driving other than I think the 4S do better in the rain.
Realistically just how much "performance" do you expect to exploit on the street anyway? If one is overdriving A/S tires one is Well into criminal/dangerous behavior.
I agree. And like you said, steering feel, and handling performance is important. At least to most of us it is.
That's a failure to drive attentively, to predict, to evaluate. Tires won't save you.
I'm not disagreeing that the PS4S is a lovely tire. I also can tell the difference between driving on them vs the A/S Contis at semi-rational speeds. I have the luxury of extra wheels and 'wasting' summer tires on routine street driving. But if someone is trying to economize be it wheel sets or rubber, A/S tires are more than adequate for the job even if they sometimes like to drive like a possessed grandma on Speed.
more like 7 ft but also check out the wet braking performance. The numbers are not exactly in the PS4s favor.
that's highly brand (thus construction) and sizing dependent. Some have soft sidewalls (Conti) others have stiff (Bridgestone). Section 40 tires will be more forgiving than 35. I have 35 on 2 cars and 40 on the other. The ride difference is enough to notice.
