Looking forward to your feedback, and also seeing how the +10mm looks

My rs3 was delivered with front 255/30 p zero's, and even though they had a noise foam insulator inside, switching to ots mpss made a world of difference - i really hope the ps4s does similar

Michelin were working on their own version of sound insulated tyres, but that seems to have been died off

I think 295/30/19 tire is for amg gt

Getting MPS4 tires installed on Thursday, went with 255/35 and 285/35 for the stock 19 inch rims. This is closest to the same tread width gain front and rear as compared to the original PSS tires.

Anyone fit nitto tires on a stock rim in particular their max summer option?

It's more like 28mm

The tread of the 295/30R20 PS4S is 1.1" wider than the stock CP 285/30R20 PSS (9.9" vs 11.0")

I have standard m4 19s. Going to need tyres any time now. Im wondering if these are a good choice or to try hold out for something better suited...

As has been noted before, 295/35/19 Generics were not listed in the original launch sizes.

Remember PSS OE size are for the * Version which are different than Generic Versions of so-called same size.

Might want to unglaze over those last 10 pages.

tirerack lists rear tread width on ps4s only 0.1" less than mpss star

295/30/20 just looks like too much sidewall relative to front 265/30/20 and i don't have any of these traction issues on my oe zcp in this climate

USD (and CDN) MUCH STRONGER than €/£ for last 9+ months.

While a reasonable explanation, do not forget the tyre review people pointed to earlier in this thread where reviewer stated MPS4S lost some of the feedback/ feel of the road compared to the MPSS (flip flopping from 9 months ago now calling it unimportant)

Thus @Bluex observation would match up with that of the reviewer.

Could also be combination of the 2.

And you also don't forget, they mentioned that when driving at the limits. If your going say something, say the whole story.

Do you think the 295/30/20 will fit on the ZCP rear wheel?

[SteveSuk]

i know the tyre wasnt mentioned at launch but it doesnt matter, they are available now

[swifty]

Not sure if it's mentioned here but just ordered 265/35/19 and 305/30/19 PS4S going on 9.5 front and 11 rear wheels.

How much smaller is the height of the sidewall on the rear comparison to the front?

2nd my previous stock 437 wheels were on 255/275 contis. Is the PS4S smaller in height on the new wheels compared to the stock setup on Contis?

Can't wait to get these bad boys on.

I'm running 295/30/20 Star spec PSS on my stock ZCP wheels. Fits perfectly!

Great.

Got the 255/35 285/35 installed today. Running 12MM spacers front & rear

Damn you. I have to wait till Monday morning.

[shaftwhy]

This is probably going to make DSC more intrusive as your front and rear diameter is the same now. As opposed to stock tires, rear diameter is slightly bigger than front diameter.
