I'm sure the Continentals will be cheaper but I wonder how the performance of them will compare. The Continental tires are supposed to be out next month.

Just looked and the Continental ExtremeContact Sport Come in the 305/35/zr20 and 285/35/zr20. I will be looking into these more.

I saw that the other day. Interested to see these on an SS.

I checked out a set at a dealer near me.
Can a round rubber object be Sexy?

They look killer in person and feel tacky to the touch.
More so than the old and busted PSS.
They won't be in stock until March

I'm kind of sad that I didn't put 2 and 2 together to realize a new model was coming out when I got my Super Sports this Summer. Should've realized that the deal I was getting was good for a reason. Still great tires but I am hearing that these P4S are a huge improvement.

If I can get a great deal on PSS when PS4S comes out, I'll take it. I read the comparison done somewhere and I think it was more like 'marginal' improvement.
Just enjoy your tires and when time comes for your next set, you can always go with PS4S.

Anyone know if they are making these 4S's in their ZP model?

JaxChris · 02-05-2017, 02:14 PM

Are the current PSS ZP's better sounding than the GY RoF's? I was curious about going with ZP's but I figured they would have as much noise as the factory RoF's (these are my first personal experience with any run flat tires).

I doubt Continental will offer the ECS in SSR, except maybe in stock sizes only. Finding a 305 runflat is pretty much only PSS ZP right now. Thank you, Team Corvette.

My GY's are not that bad, little noise but nothing terrible. I actually like them a lot, but am curious if the 4s's will be a huge difference and most likely last longer.

The Continental will be a lot cheaper than the PS 4S. The 285's will be like $290 and the 305'second will be like $380

I have a friend who I am setting up with a set of Michel Pilot Sport 4S' for his '15 Z28. I originally put a set of Michelin Cup 2's on there, but he didn't like the performance in the rain that we get here. Once I get an idea of how he feels about them, I'll post it up here. Just a humorous picture. Obviously the perspective does not help, but the tire stack in the background is a stack of 6 225's which was barely taller than the x4 305's

TenSeven · 03-14-2017, 05:44 PM

Since I can't stand the noise my Nitto NT05's make, I was really looking forward to these tires. But they're not runflats... grumble grumble grumble...

enzia35 · 03-14-2017, 07:58 PM

Is the NT05 a RF? I didn't realize Nitto made any.

If you got a great deal then do not fret. I paid full boat for the tires 3 months ago and had to fight to find them in stock. I don't know why you would be sad about one of the best rated summer (but good in all conditions) tire out there. Nobody knows if these replacements will compare favorably yet. Where are you hearing 'huge' improvement? How do you have a huge improvement over the best rated tire out there in its class?
