Both of these are fantastic dry-weather tires and will hold up for track use. They are also the two best street-legal rain tires that you can get (even better than any all-season). They are easily good to below freezing temps, too. I consider them more of a "three season" tire. |
Interesting! I've been considering PS4 AS's to replace my OEM F1 A3 RoF's. I looked at the PS4S's too, but they rate about the same as the OEM GY's as far as wet traction (on tirerack), so it got me thinking why would I change? Nowhere on the Michelin website does it say what temps "summer" tires are good down to, so I'm wondering where you see they are good below freezing. My car will never see snow, but I would like to have the ability to drive near/below 40 if I want/need to, as well as not worry about rain. The tread patterns on the OEM GY's and the PS4S's look an awful lot alike too. I like the "3-season" idea. So far the car has never been driven in rain, but I anticipate doing some road trips and it's gonna see the wet stuff eventually. I do want to keep the ability to drive "spirited" too, but will never track the car.
