Likewise
i go to the legal limit, however from around 3mm the ability to clear water reduces so i drive in consideration of that.
How close to the legal limit do you let yours tyres go?

I don't really drive much in the wet and it's mainly for motorway driving crusing in the left lane so I've always been ok. I'll be replacing them soon with ps4 tyres. Should be a good improvement
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'm getting Uniroyal Rainsport 5s on the partner's car on Wednesday as they also are great and fairly cheap for a run around car.
I’ve had RS3’s and the wife also and they’ve been excellent...slightly soft but I hear the RS5’s have addressed most of the wear issues (although we’ve never had any major issues with wear personally...guess it’s how you drive it).
might be tempted by the PS4’s if price is right...Pzero we’re always a favourite until the RS3’s came along.
They seem quite well reviewed and priced around the £80-£90 mark. You can never really tell until you try them.

I'll probably stick to my Rainsports just because I get on well with them and can get them for £71 fitted or £75 for XL.
PS4's for me in 225/45/17 are £98.50 in XL, so a fair difference.
I've got the RS5s for £50 a corner on the 16s through black circles a few weeks ago I booked. The ps4 price is £380 all in for where I'm getting them fitted on my 18s.

Good work personal shopper!
I'll probably do the same, based on cost and how happy I've been with the 3's.

I tend to use on of these 2:

I can get 4 x RS5's in XL in 225/45/17 for £300, so quite happy with that.
Yeah I had Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the 280 and considering the front tyres take more of a hammering, they still looked good when I traded the car in 14,000 miles later.
From the latest ADAC test the Goodyear assy 5 actually has the best tyre wear. Followed by the premium contact 6 and falken 510. Ps4 was 4th. So looks like a no brainer at £70.50 at f1 autocentre for me.
Ahh that makes more sense...I was thinking that was an insane price (still ruddy good mind for the tyre).
Let us know how you get on with them.
Will do. I won't really have much to say for a while as I take it easy for the first 500 miles to let the tyres bed in.
The goodyear eagle f1 assymetric 5’s are more than you will ever need on a leon
I always like a good quality tyre...it’s really annoying me at the mo that my car clearly had a puncture at some stage and rather than get a matching Bridgestone they whacked on a Kumho...it’s a decent one going on the ratings and reviews but who has mismatched tyres across an axel (except me at t he moment)...I don’t even like mismatched front to back when they stop making a tyre!
