Got an old Golf 4 which I inherited from my grandparents and I only use it like 1/2 times a week.
It got Continental winter tires on it from 2011. Thread is like new and no cracks. Drove thru snow with it, heavy rain and heat. Tires are not showing any signs of being bad. It's like driving on rails with it, very impressive performance from Continental.
Conti DWS 06 for blasting around town
The DWS06+ just grip so good on any type of surface on different driving conditions. Never were able to hit corners so well without hearing my tires screeching
Conti ECS 02 tires. I had PS4S tires before and I like the contis more
God I hate pirellis - Michelin great but expensive- I’ve been running continentals and very happy with ride quality and performance for everyday driving.
Continental extremecontact sport 02s are gonna be the closest if not the same tire for grip and wear than the PS4Ss at $50 cheaper a tire.
I’ve got the DSW06 on my 22 kn and love them
They’re like a 100$ less per tire then the ps4s
And they hook up for the power level I’m at ????
Put down a 5.49 0-60 in 95 degree heat
The PS4S is a good summer street tire. Its competitor is going to be the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02. Both are great tires.
I've run various versions of the Contis including the EC Sports & DWS 06+. Don't get me wrong, they are fantastic tires, but they do have drawbacks. I don't like how soft the sidewalls are, the tire profile isn't that appealing, tire dressing smears on the sidewalls leaving streaks, and they don't have a treadwear warranty (summer tires). If you are in an area where you are able to run summers year round, there is no reason not to do it other than sacrificing a tiny bit of tread life. Contis also don't seem to balance up as well as some of the other premium brands. I've had more issues with vibrations from Conti tires than I have from some others.
Just this morning I changed out the Conti TX's for Conti DWS06's. Not something I wanted to do just after buying a brand new car, but already had a bubble on one tire. Didn't feel comfortable just replacing it. I replaced all 5, including the spare.
