I have the ps4's on mine. They are bit of a traction disappointment during the warm months. However, the f1's are downright scary in the cold

I am considering buying a second set of wheels and tires and using the F1's in the summer and the 4's in the winter and rainy spring

but the LS3 in the '59 is going strong and blowing cold, so it's definitely my daily driver.....and, the '70 Dodge Coronet is almost on the road!!!!

I still haven't forgiven Michelin for the 2005 Indianapolis Grand Prix. I'll be running Toyo R888R when the time comes for me to switch.

No sir.. It was my first ever full GP weekend, and while Schumi (my hero) won the race, I'll still never forgive Michelin.

Looks good. What size are they? How do you like them?

full*throttle*therapy · 06-17-2018, 10:10 PM

stock zl1 1le size..love them on the street and when standing water has the potential to occur. Would use as a heavy rain tire on track. (if I had the rig to carry spare sets of rubber of course

)

OEM. They have spectacular lateral grip. On the canyon roads of SoCal, (with no guard rails) I can confidently turn in at the proper time which is line to line. If you get the PS4, please give us your feedback.

I have a little 1k on the PS4S. I am about ready to use my line lock a few times, and buy me a new set of GY. Really disappointed in the Michelin's.

I spoke to my brother in law who is working for a couple of years in the research and development department at Michelin France.
I discovered something you should know about tires....
I didn’t know and was surprised !!!!

The tires coming with the car when you buy it
Called OEM tires are the best you could never have on the car!
They have a blue dot or star.
When you change them, the ones you order aftermarket, even same model same size :
They don’t have this blue dot or star and are bull shit ship tires
So whatever
You run PS4 on corvette
Or eagle on Camaro,
If you order the same size and tires you won’t have the same results...
But you can still order (according to him) OEM tires with this little blue mark (may be different color or mark in US, I didn’t check on my fifty and Zl1 when they arrived) if you specify and request it...
I don’t know how to do it but the OEM eagle coming with the car from the factory will always be better than the aftermarket eagle you can buy every where

Any specialist about tires can confirm?
I can’t
Just words from my trust bro in law working at Michelin FR.

The star part is true for OEM Michelins. I can’t comment on if they are better, worse or different than Tire Rack, etc tires.
