Not comp, but have them. Huge improvement over Contis in all respects. Only issue is the temperature requirements. Read about them. If you live in a cold location, I would find another option.

I'm running 275 front, 295 rear. PS4S on competition 2017 M3.
DSC fully off, in damp conditions, even pulling off in straight line, still not much grip on the rear.
In the dry, good grip. Haven't tracked.

I have them and I like them. Better grip and a quieter ride plus a 30,000 mile warranty. What else could you ask for?

It’s a nice commuter spec tire, OP.

I have been using them for the last 26k miles to daily and did 1 De on them

Pro: lasting more than 26k miles and relatively quiet so great for commuting
Con: lower grip compared to sports street tires like Re71r or cup2 so not great for track or autox

I am switching over to Re71r after I cord my current set of ps4s

Do you think they're worse than PSSs in that regard?

17 ZCP
PS4S in 265f 285r
666M
10mm spacers

I believe turn in is slightly slower given the squarer tire profile vs the rounded/stretched star spec PSS.
