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 :)

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

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.

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.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

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
