Hi,

I'm in a market for new summer tires. Unfortunately I can't get Michelin Pilot Sport 4s, since Michelin isn't offering them in 17" size in Europe, which is a big disappointment. What are the other good options?

Both the car and its rims are stock and it will stay that way.

I'm not tracking the car regularly, although I might get on a track once or maybe twice this year if I get lucky. While some track performance is welcome, but it's not a priority at all, so I don't need some over-the-top performance tires. I don't use the car as a daily beater either. I use the car for spirited driving on narrow roads, preferably as twisty as possible to enjoy the glorious interaction between man and the machine. I prefer an excellent grip and want to get very direct feeling/handling (stiff sidewalls?) so that the car can react quickly to my inputs and can communicate to me well. I will not use the car in sub zero temperatures and definitely not on snow unless I'm forced to. The car stays in garage over the winter.

Is there anything similar PS4s on the Europen market? What tires are you guys using and what's good and what's bad about them?

 

In case somebody is wondering about the same thing I was.

I've got Yokohama AD08RS in the end. They are really nice in dry I don't feel I am lacking anything. I haven't got a caught up in rain yet, so I can't report on wet performance.
