Tires MICHELIN or Achilles

Pilot sport 4s always. Got them on my i30N and wouldn't touch anything else tbh.

I run ps4 S on my M3 and I find the wet grip to be more than fine

I have Pilot Sport 5s alround now and they're really excellent.

Better tires. Specifically yung Michelin Pilot Sport 5s. Sobrang BIG difference sa grip, handling & confidence on the road.

The Michelins are on my stock wheels and primarily for daily driving. However, I have tracked it probably 6 times now and they're still going strong. They're the only tires I haven't chunked, and I don't baby them. They seem to lose pace instead of keeping it and overheating. You should get 6+ days/weekends out of the PS4S as a beginner.

I run PS4S's on my 2019 mustang, which is a pretty heavy car. Intermediate HPDE. I have 6 days on my current set and expect 2-4 more days before they're totally thrashed. They are a superb beginner tire (lots of good feedback, predictable grip). I find the key to making them last is to not completely scorch them, I usually limit my sessions to 15-20 mins and always take 2-3 laps around the paddock to help them cool gently. Once they start getting greasy (you will notice both a change in feel and a drop off in lap times) its time to either come in or take a few cooldown laps.

PS4S is arguably the best beginner tire. It’s great for now. Driving at 7-8/10ths as you will be as a beginner for awhile, it will last at least half a dozen days probably more

PS4S is a great tire with 300 tread wear, you won't be beating any times but I get them to last 7+ track days on the M340 which I find hard to beat. They're not a dedicated track tire, however, if you're just starting I think it's a great choice as they're chatty, great grip and good longevity.

I am not disputing that RWD is better than FWD during acceleration or climbing a hill on a car with 50:50 weight distribution and I did say that I had a hard time putting the power down with only 120hp in my e-Golf. This being said, on the move, I am not sure that RWD would be better for changing direction without immediate oversteer (fun at low speed, no so much on the highway).

The first set survived 18k miles. I thought it was alignment issue so replaced with another set of OEM tires.

The second one lasts only 16k miles…
