The test result kind of backs up your own experiences with the PS4 mcmaddy
Compared to the Goodyear and Conti, definitely. But compared to the Bridgestone S001 standard on the GTI - nah.
The video very much echos my experiences with the PS4. I cannot fault the grip, wet or dry, but would like more steering feel. The Goodyear might be a good option for me.
I'm please to see the Mk8 GTI will be coming with either S005s or Goodyear F1s. Bridgestone must have finally exhausted the massive stockpile of ancient S001s!
