The Psychedelic Socialist's Focus ST

I have to say having a lightweight car makes such a difference to tyre and brake wear. I was wincing thinking of the cost of your M4 flying round @Nickw88

@The Psychedelic Socialist what pressure did you run on track?
Started at 2.1 cold then let them get up to 2.6/2.7 max.

Normally it's 2.4 cold so I reckon I might have damaged them going too hard before they'd increased in pressure much.

All I can say is the Conti sport contacts I had once wore quicker than my patience with the BMW.

I went through a set of front sport contact 7s in no time on the 5 series and M3. Turns out they like a bit more pressure or they roll onto the side walls a bit and wear mega fast on the outer edges. This set seem to be doing much better at 35psi compared to 32. I’ll have a better picture in another few thousand miles

That's what chewed mine.

🤣

Tyres actually did pretty well! Now they’ve cleaned up they look fine. I still need to find my tool to measure them but doesn’t look they’ve used much at all surprisingly.

@The Psychedelic Socialist I’d definitely recommend the PS4S, i can now say I’ve tried them in the rain, snow, ice and on track. Not so great in the snow 😂

I’d like to think you’d get better distance than me and they’ll be cheaper too; around 10k rear/15k fronts and ~£1300 with alignment (265/30/20 / 285/30/20)

Handling wise, prob fuckall in it for slow day to day use on the top good brands michelin, conti etc.

Wear rate is something else though. I ran goodyears on the kangoo and the wear rate was ridiculous for road tyre/road use. The cup2's i replaced them with are wearing loads better in comparison 😅

I know a few people who ran contis and have went back to michelin as last longer.

There are PS S 5 now which replace the PS4S (dunno why they messed around with the naming of them 😖) to also consider.


Got these on 2 cars now after having
P ZEROS PS4 AND PS4'S .

PS5'S best of the lot imo get some you won't regret it.

Great looking tyres too.

Camskill usually aways cheapest just drop a drink to the local carefull tyre fitter.
