Have to replace mine now and deciding between keeping with the pZero’s or changing to the MPS4s’s.

Michelin has an offer on I believe. Had the MPS4S’s on my previous car and they were good. Not sure how that relates between cars though.

Those tyres look like they're holding up well. Mine just look like they're getting chewed up. Especially the outer tread. When the time comes I'm definitely considering the sport contact 7 when I go to replace them. Pilot sport 5 and asymmetric 6 are likely to be the other options depending on what offers are around at the time.

update,

i mentioned earlier in this thread I thought the Goodyear F1A6s were noisy
put my winter wheels and tyres back on today and the noise is gone.

Dunno if ive got a dodgy tyre or wonky camber but the F1A6s are noisier than my winter tyres!
I've ran winters the last 5 years and it usually been the other way about.

Roughly 10K miles on them and the fronts are almost done. No sign of the camber being out, nice even wear,
Will be looking at Michelin or Contis next - not that impressed with these goodyears
Current - 2019 Golf GTI
Previous, 2016 Golf GTD, 2014 Leon FR, 2010 Ibiza FR, 2006 Fabia vRS , various Vauxhalls

I have PS4S on mine, can be a little noisy on some surfaces but generally comfortable, quiet and grippy. Put around 27k miles on a full set and have 3mm on the fronts and 5mm on the rears. Going to swap them around soon and get some more out of them!
