I think PS4S in 18" and also the new Bridgestone Sport in 18" will be good to see what Tyrereviews say.

Fitted PS4S on 18s today - quite a premium over the PS4 but hopefully they will be worth it.

We get Thailand made (denoted as ST on the sidewall) PS4.  There's some discussion here in Aus. that the Thai built ones have less sidewall plies and are not as sharp to steer as the European ones you blokes get.  More a "touring" class tyre.

Hence I'm looking for alternatives.  The new Bridgestones McMaddy mentioned sound very promising.  From memory I think our Bridgestones are made in Japan, so the real deal.

They seem to be available but no one's actually tested them yet. Tyrereviews have said they will be testing them soon (delayed due to Corona).
