Tires Tesla or Continental
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.
30,000. Swapped for continental crosscontact lx25
On my last RAV4 I went with Continental Cross Contact, those were great as well.
I replaced them with Continentals. I love Continentals. I’ve always had great luck with them on my Audis, which tended to chew up tires in short order.
I previously had the Michelin PS4S and the noise and ride were pretty good, noise was most noticeable on concrete roads. In December I changed to the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 and they are quieter and ride better than the PS4S, ride quality is actually pretty damn nice in normal mode and almost luxury like in comfort.
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.
But having watched DWS regularly chunk badly under autox runs, i wouldn't expect much to be left of those tires at the end of the event. The compound is not designed to handle higher temps.
