New Tyres on Mapped GTi

[Yusee]

Can anyone with experience of both comment on whether the PS4Ss are much different to the PS4s? Not long since had these fitted on 18” wheels, but looks like PS4Ss will be available in18s

This should tell you everything you need to know:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMv64liOqIE

I've been generally very impressed with the PS4, but am hoping we get the 4S in 18" too, as next time ideally I'd like more steering feel.  Wondering if the Goodyear may be a better option for me.  Or Conti.

Thanks, that’s an interesting video. Seems there’s nothing in it in terms of grip but more steering feel with the 4Ss

I'm not sure what tyres I have on the rear off the top of my head, but when I bought the car it needed new ones on the front. The garage put "CatchForce" tyres on the front 225/40ZR18. I don't have a clue what they are? Don't know if anyone knows?
They're not half bad but they do lose grip quite easily if I put my foot down in the wet or even just damp conditions

They’re probably Windforce Catchfors - Chinese tyres.

Yep! That's the ones I have. Found another picture on my phone (because I didn't want to go out in the cold and look lol) and it says Windforce on the other side.

I mean, they have decent ratings printed on the tyre. But I still haven't left a review for the garage and not sure if I should put that down as a negative. From what I can see it wouldn't have been much more for a better brand and you expect that when you're spending over £10k on a car really

4S tyres turned up today (well 3 as one missing) and I am surprised at how light they are, im sure my Kumho weighed a tonne lifting them around

Its lighter because you only have three quarters of them

One missing not three

Honestly holding one they feel very light compared

Getting my wife's alloys refurbed Gloss Black this Thursday and new Michelin PS4S fitted, I will post up some pics on Friday when we collect the car

[jaceyboy]

I said I would post up for anyone thinking of doing the same, what can I say, looks great but also the Michelin's are superb, the ride is so much better now

The PS4S will be available in 18" soon too 👍
