Michelin PSS vs Goodyear Asym 3

[AJP]

I've gone from PSS to PS4, and for me PS4 have the edge in colder, wetter conditions.

PSS were phenomenal when you'd got some heat into them and the road was dry. They seemed much more of a genuine summer tyre.

PS4 still function well at that tricky point, say 7 degrees or colder, in damp conditions. I dare say in conditions ideal for PSS, PS4 might not be quite as good. But we're not talking night and day here.

One thing also worth mentioning - when the PSS were down to about 3mm they really seemed to have lost a lot of straight line grip. I could have got more miles out of them, but switched to PS4 at that point, and immediately got that grip back. Make of that what you will.

I highly recommend PS4.

As above, my PS4s were actually better than my Dunlop Winter Sports when temps fell to 0 last year.   Although that may have been something to do with stage 1 eddy on 205/55/16s 

Tyres have come a long way in the last few years.  There probably isn't much to seperate the top players and they all have very similar asymmetrical tread patterns.

What I look for is a thick centre tread which helps with straight line stability and self centering, which is something Golfs need with 0 toe angle. The car can wander a bit, but it's better for cornering and tyre life.
