Wet very very good. Cold can’t say they’re any worse as I take it easy anyway, but compared to the Continentals night and day better.Might be worth paying a little extra for...what they like in the cold and/or wet?

No love for the Conti’s then...never had them myself. I’ve got a few months to decide so I’ll probably change my mind several times before then haha.Wet very very good. Cold can’t say they’re any worse as I take it easy anyway, but compared to the Continentals night and day better.
They have really good reviews and I do drive it hard sometimes so want to try the PS4 tyres. I've never had them before, always had these Turanzas.
I was gonna mention noise...the tyre labels are external noise for pedestrians...are you talking from experience and they are louder in the cabin?1 word of warning about the eagle f1 asy 5’s
they beat the bridgestones hands down in every department except noise, they are a noisy tyre so you will notice that straight away.
its a compromise i accept however

Not found the Rainsports to be too bad but I don’t think I’ve ever had a particularly quiet or loud tyre all been much the same until they’ve worn down I’ve half way.
They said the SuperSports where noisier that the other tyres too (PS4S and Conti 6)Even tyre reviews note the 5 is noisier than than 3 they replaced
Think I’m gonna try the RS5’s when I get round to changing as it will be towards the end of the year so some rain tyres will make sense...gotta be better that the S001’s I’m not impressed with them but not sure if it’s just how the car is so will see when changed over.They said the SuperSports where noisier that the other tyres too (PS4S and Conti 6)
I recon it’s because they have to reduce the external noise to pass the tests and so directing it into the wheel well and consequently into the cabin. Looks good on the label though and pedestrians are happy even though 95% of my driving no pedestrian would want to (or could) walk anywhere nearThey said the SuperSports where noisier that the other tyres too (PS4S and Conti 6)
I don’t know how hard you guys push it but I’ve personally never had an issue even down close to 1.6mm unless there is excessive standing water and usually taking it steady during such conditions anyway.The last thing you want to be gambling with is your tyres. As soon as you think they're getting low you should be getting some new rubber. Not worth coming off the road for a few mm.
I previously read an article saying that from 3mm down to the legal limit the wet weather performance drastically goes downhill. 3mm is where you should be thinking about replacement.
Yep...I always leave a nice big breaking zone in wet (and dry) conditions...till some muppet pulls into it without indicating of courseThere are loads of vids on Youtube and articles which agree with this. I always change mine at 3mm as well. For me, it's not about performance / grip but braking distance in an emergency.

My brother has PS4S on his BMW and they are useless at the moment. We swapped them back on to the car just over a week ago when we thought the weather might be clearing up. Went for a spin to make sure they were alright and they lost traction with minimal throttle. Wasn't great. They don't perform well on wet cold roads.Wet very very good.

Yeah as much as I loved my PSS, the PS4S are better in the wet.My brother has PS4S on his BMW and they are useless at the moment.

Needless to say the winter tyres went back on after that.
EDIT: turns out they were the super sports which I don't think are available in 19 inch. they are however very capabale in the dry and very quiet on the roads. But crap on cold wet roads with various organic detritus cmeared across the country lanes and A roads round my way.
