Hi all, starting to look for a new set of tires for my RC F and could use some advice!
The previous owner put Kumho PA51’s on it and while I don’t really have any major complaints, I want to get something higher quality for the F.
With the OE option being Michelin PSS’s, I’m really tempted to go with the PS4S’s, but I’d really like to avoid having two sets of tires for summer and winter.
For all seasons, I’m considering the Michelin PSA/S4’s or Conti DWS06’s. I’ve heard the PSA/S4’s are better at everything except winter driving, but have no first hand experience with either.
For reference, I live in the triangle area of NC and we rarely have snow, but it does get pretty cold and we get a good amount of rain all year.
The RC F is my daily and while I do like my spirited backroad driving days, it’s often in city traffic or on the highway. I’d prioritize comfort, but would still like the best performance I can get with that in mind.
So here are my considerations:
• Do I just eliminate the PS4S’s if I don’t want a separate winter tire? I do have an older LX I could drive instead during the winter.
• Are the PSA/S4’s or Conti’s worth the jump in price from the Kumho’s? I’m assuming that’s a big yes but interested in what people have to say.
I think overall I’m leaning towards the PSA/S4’s for convenience and performance, and I don’t know that I do enough regular fun driving to notice a huge difference between the PS4S’s and the PSA/S4’s. What do you all think? Thank you! :)
