Very happy with the SS the sidewall is the game changer on the GTI's as the front axel is quite heavy.

I will repeat with another set. On wet are not as good as the PS4 this is for sure, but not dangerous.

On my local roads and speeds, I find the SS to be better than the PS4 in the wet.

The only area the SS falls slightly short of the PS4 is at 0 deg C and lower.  The SS does need a bit more heat than the PS4 but as you say, it's not dangerous.

Ended up opting for the asy5's. Was tempted by the ss but for what I need I think the goodyears will be spot on. Will report back.

Appreciate the replies

Although it has just been replaced I have been very impressed with the Asym 5 on my car. So much better feel than PS4.
