I did both with my car, swapped the fronts and back over to even out the ware but after about 2 weeks wiped 1 of the front tires out with ripping the side wall on a pot hole.
Budget constraints only enabled me to get 2 PS4S at that time so i put the 2 new ones on the front. It’s been like that for over 6 month now and i have not noticed any issues at all with the handling in the wet or dry.
I am not saying its the correct thing to do but I haven’t noticed any adverse effects.

Swop front to back will all wear out even then at that depth then fit PS4 or PS4S that's what I did massive improvement on the P zero I had before In all conditions money well spent :smiley:

Hi guys,

Just a quick update on this, I've sold my current PZeros on the car to a neighbour of mine (for a good price who also has a GTI :-) ) so....... I'm just going replace all four tyres with new PS4S.

I hope they are a step up from the Pirellis. I did find them a bit lacking in the damp conditions.

Thanks for all the advice, much appreciated.
