If you don't drive quickly or race id save a few quid and go for the cheaper option.

I had a set of brand new PS4s put on which is all great, car handling improved very vastly but now I have a nail stuck in one of them, so be aware when purchasing a set as anything can happen.

I wouldn't change the PS4s, but when I see things like this, it really just makes me want to buy the cheap and cheerful tyres lol  :thinking:

ATS Euromaster currently have an offer on Michelin tyres. A pair of 225/40YR18 MICH PIL SPT4 XL PS4s seem to come in @£92.99 each fully fitted.
I had 2 fitted to my GTI last year when a similar offer was running and have found them to be great tyres.

Im Leaning towards the fallen 512 or maybe the Avon zv7. The latter I've had on clios before and found them great

Costco were doing a deal on the PS4 for £300 ISH for four fitted etc. Round Christmas time, wish I had gone for them.

Let us know how they feel and drive. I’ve got PS4’s on mine and they seem to grip well and the road noise isn’t too bad

Wowzer 8 year’s longevity for a set of Tyres’s. I’m guessing you swap fronts and rears round on a regular basis to achieve this??

I drive like cars are meant to be driven and the best value/performance out there for me is kuhmo ku39. Great tyre, I have used them for years on a golf gti, r32 and bmw 330i. Always give good grip and wear well. Better than most more expensive tyres and definitely better than similar price avons etc.

get them from tyreleader and there almost giving them away.

got 2 new ones sat in my shed waiting to go on my r32 as we speak.

Well that’s good to know and the fact you’ve used them on multiple cars is testimony to this. I may well grab a set for my BBS Pescaras, which I’m gonna use for summer and a change of style from the Monzas
