I am just about to change my tyres on my Clubsport and thought I get some opinions from you guys, I will be taking off the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's which have been brilliant, what are you all running was thinking of Pilot Sport 4's
-
PS4's are very good, had 2 of them on the front for awhile. new set of wheels though i'm gonna try the goodyear eagle F1's, meant be just as good.

Tyrereviews on YouTube is the place to find out about best tyres.
-
On my second set of PS4S's up front, handle the power well compared to the P-ZERO's they replaced.
-
Very pleased with PS4S, they can't compare with the Bridgestone Potenza that they replaced!

Thanks for that, I just watched the Tyrereviews and they had a Goodyear Eagle F1 A5 review with the PS4 and he said although the PS4 where marginally better the fact the Goodyear,s are so £30+ cheaper than the PS4's to go with the Goodyears
-
Depends what deal you find.... often the PS4's have some really good offers out there.

Cheers I'll have a google and see what I can find

Black circles is usually the place for Michelin deals as Michelin own Blackcircles :whistle:
In 18" I'll be going Goodyear or Conti, I hate the soft sidewalls on the michelins.
-
I will replace my Pirelli's with PS4-S when the time comes.
Will you stay with 225 or go for 235 on the replacements? :)

Mine is running on the 235/35’s so will stick with them :)

I went from Cup 2's to PS4S and have been really pleased with them - no noticeable step down in performance from the Cup 2's (although I hardly drive on the limit...)
-
Been really impressed with the P Zero (these would be the newer versions) on my TCR, the compromise that prepared and accepted to myself has not really materialised and not driving the TCR any differently, get away as sharp as always have.
The dry warm weather obviously helps and if you really floor it in the wet physics will takeover but given the power to FWD the tyre is performing better than I expected
-
Ats Do good deals in Michelin. Cheaper than black circles when I shopped.

Thanks I’ll have a look although not sure I’d trust ATS with my wheels, but suppose they could be better than they used to be

I have Bridgestone Turanza's T005 on my CS and I have no complaints. They look really good too. I had pilot sport 4 on my mk5 which were excellent, but i doubt someone other than a professional driver would notice the difference.

ATS are owned by Michelin :smiley:

You don't have to be a professional driver to feel that all Bridgestone variants are sh!te in every day use (overly hard/noisy, poor wet and dry turn in grip and initial traction). Only on a track day when these tyres would get seriously warm would you see half decent performance.
Turanzas on a CS? Were these standard factory fit or did you buy them? Odd choice as they are a touring tyre not a sporty tyre. These were standard for on my Polo GTI+ and I swapped them out ASAP after a minor scare with them. They're every bit as bad as Potenzas.

They came brand new with the car which i only got recently so i didn't have a choice. If I were buying them myself I'd have stuck with the PS4s. I must admit the first thing that came to mind is i have to change the tyres but once I drove the car I found them to be very good. Good enough to keep for sure. The roads where i live are rough and it rains a lot.
They're not overhard, i would say soft if anything and i wouldn't call them noisy either.
I driven a car with the Potenzas, and they are sh!te, as are P zeroes
