PS4S is the best street summer tire money can buy, IMO

For performance cars the only correct tyre is: MichelinPilot Super Sport

I went with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. By far the best tires I've had on any of my cars.

I went with A/S because although we might not get much snow/ice, we certainly do sometimes and is a beating.

I’m in S. Fla so no need to worry about snow, how many miles should I expect out of these?

I live in Miami, FL and I had my P0’s on for about 1k miles. I changed them because the ride was a little to hard for my taste. I put some PS4S and couldn’t be happier. Ride is much more comfortable and the tire’s grip is endless. Feels as if you’re in another vehicle. I’ve put about 7500 miles on the PS4S and they still look new

Lol. Well that completely depends on the tires and your driving style.

I can't say much about the Pilot Sports because I've only had them for a year. But the grip is great, turns are great, went and dry is great.
On my Acura TL:
First had General UHP (no longer make them). Got them because they were cheap but they lasted long and were great tires.
Next got the Conti ExtremeContact DSW 06. Supposed to last something like 40-50k miles. I must admit for the first 5k miles in the dry and especially wet they were excellent. But they were worn at 15-20k, not to mention the sidewall was pretty soft so they did not corner well. Pieces of **** IMO (I know other people swear by them.. to each their own).
Lastly got Yokohama YK580 tires. Were really good as well. But then sold the car.

thanks, my concern is that the dealer did something when they balanced the tires. Want to make sure there is no underlying issue before I put new ones on.

PSS have been replaced by the PS4S, you'll be getting the last stock of the PSS if you still find them listed.

Great misconception of summer and all season tires. Summer tires provide better performance in the wet than most all season tires. All season tires have a different compound so that they still perform when the temperatures drop. Most Summer tires should not be used/exploited in weather below 40 degrees. All seasons will be able to perform in lower temperatures and then obviously winter tires will be best suited for low temperature weather. The tread design then further enhances the tires ability to perform.

I'm in S. Florida so definitely going with summer tires. I've gotten two other professional opinions and they both state that there is an issue with the alignment and the tires should be wearing on the inside not the outside. Time to get MB Corporate on the phone
