I had PS4 on my 997TT and I found them very hard...I run PS2 on the C4 and I think the same on the Cayenne...

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello,
There doesn't seem to be a lot of choice in the correct size tyre for my car - 285/30/198.
I have some Pirrelli on the rear currently with about 5mm tread but they definitely require replacement as are lethal in the wet. I assume the 12 year old rubber is past its best.
Reading around, even new Pirelli don't seem to get a great write up.
What is everybody's go to tyre out of the choice I can find available:
Michelin PS2 N3
Bridgestone Potenza S02A
Pirelli P Zero Rosso N4
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2
I am not bothered about the N rating, is the above the only tyres available to choose from?
Thanks,
James
Depends on what you want them to do. If you want stickyness then the above is a good list; if you want long wearing the Falken are very good.
Had a set on my C4S and they lasted 18 months. :thumb:

I put Bridgestone N rated on mine recently. Replacing 7 year old Michelin.
I think whatever new tyres you put on will be a world better than any that are 5 + years old. At 12 years they must be as hard as steel!
I am very pleased with them and can recommend them quite happily. The ride feels a little more compliant and the grip levels higher and the transition to slip predictable (very small amounts of slip! I'm not Monkey Harris!)

Always been a big fan of the German manufactured Goodyear's and if they have them in your size I'd fit them in a heartbeat.
They turned my previous 993 into a rock solid car in the wet that defied anything any other previously fitted tyre could.
Interesting. How are the sidewalls? are they stiff enough?
I've put Uniroyal RS3's on my car and I regret this. Soft as marshmellows, even though they're good in the rain.
I went with PS2s but after speaking to CG during my suspension set up, I slightly wish I had gone PS4s in 275/35/18, a more modern tyre and apparently very good.
I had PS4 on my 997TT and I found them very hard...I run PS2 on the C4 and I think the same on the Cayenne... its Michelin or Conti for me... however I agree with Falkens... a great tyre.. very sticky for a great drive... had them on previous AMGs....
On my PS4 You turned in and there was a bit of a delay until the tyres settled into their steady state grip so you would need two bites of the cherry on entry. CG agreed when I went back following my initial set up (we ran out of time for a proper assessment) and added a bit of camber to stop them rolling in hard cornering and took off some toe in at the rear to help the response. Pete said that actually a few customers with the PS4 had reported something similar.
However with that alignment now done, the PS4 are epic.
My strong preference for rears is the cheapest and hopefully hardest tyre I can find in 255 section. That way I get to do at least a bit of steering with the throttle. You guys on 285+ section modern rubber are missing out on a world of fun. Massive tyres to look nice though.
