I have 4 new ps4's on mine and they are fantastic but mine are 18" but if I was buying 19" I would have considered the new Continental Contact Sport 6
White GTI PP......

PS4S (if available in your size). Not cheap but boy are they worth the money. Eat the potholes, very comfortable ride, very quiet.....and then there's the grip!

I wish I could have waited for the PS4 S in size 18, but I didn't fancy driving around all winter with the OEM Bridgestone's :angry:

The only thing I don't like about my standard PS4 tyres are the noise levels.

That's what I'd be putting, there has been lots of coverage of these (they've won tyre tests, great reviews etc). Would be a simple choice for me.

GONE - 2018 Mk7.5 GTI Performance 5dr DSG, Tungsten Silver, 2017 Mk7.5 GTI 5dr DSG, Indium Grey

Yeah, they need to get their skates on and put them out in 18s!  PS4 a good alternative though.  Are you finding them quite noisy then?
