Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I want to fit some new rubber on my car... I know its been asked a million times lol Michelin still do not make PS4s to fit the rear. So the question is do I go for PS2s at the rear and PS4s up front or better just to go good ol' PS2s all round?

POST 2Original post

Tom For me I would like the same compound rubber on each corner. Ps2 or cup 2 would be my choice

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quick on the keys Faried! I have just sent you a text Thanks, that does make more sense! The other option is go to 19" wheels but I am concerned about how the handling could be compromised :?: :dont know:

POST 5Original post

Don't keep it a secret. Others on here are interested in opinions too. I would always run the same compound on all four corners. MC

POST 6Original post

Asked an Indy this question today myself... He said PS2 front and PS4 rear would be OK :judge: I always thought a 4 wheel drive car should have all 4 matching tyres so I am subscribing opcorn: :thumb:

POST 8Original post

True, but I didn't say that they were :grin: :thumb:

POST 9Original post

Mine is 2wd. I run PS2. And about to go Cup2 on all 4 corners. For me it's an old school choice to keep it all the same. Different compounds and maybe you get a different turn in etc. I just don't know and don't have the spare cash to make a mistake by trying something out they I am not happy with. PS2 and Cup 2 tyres are good for multiple 200+ mph runs so that is good enough for me and a benchmark I can rely on I don't know many people who run PS4 tyres at 200 mph and beyond ?

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys. Think I'll stick with ps2's all round. I'm more comfortable with that and as you say Faried tried and tested at high speed. Although I suspect Michelin test their newer tyres to the same or higher standards than previous versions. Or at least I hope they do. I'm also going to look in to 19" options based on your advice Faried.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Also a 996 turbo is so much better in RWD!!!!

POST 12Original post

Tom, Wise i think, PS2 is a great choice a 2wd Porsche turbo is the way to go....LOL. Its fun anyways My offer on the text stands Tom,,,,not a problem, Tea or coffee will be on tap ! When i get back from italy, the current tyres will be close to illegal, or that is one of y trip objectives!!! so i am going to slap on some Cup 2s .....got them already dot code dec 2017 so still quite fresh Keep an eye on any black circles cheap orders as i had to send back (lots of hassle) a set of Cups that were over 6 years old FFS Regards

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks again Faried. Really appreciate the offer! Have a good trip mate and hopefully we can catch up when you get back Also good advice re black circles etc. I really do not want old stock. My current ps2s have plenty of tread but as my car has been on and off the road for the last 2 years my tyres are now 3 years old.

POST 14Original post

Hi, I was at a tyre garage the other day to get a price for rear ps2 and he told me they have ps4 295/ 30/18 now

POST 15Original post

The best price I could get for PS2s recently was from Asda, fitted at a local specialist, check them out.
