The ExtremeContact Sports are also excellent with grip similar to the outgoing Michelin PSS but with a better sidewall and steering feel.
Thanks for the advice. The PS4 does have a higher tread wear rating than the RE003 so there's something to think about in the long run. I don't daily my S so miles are kept low which means I don't have to worry too much about tread wear but yeah, the more the better as long as high grip isn't sacrificed. Never considered Contis. Will look into them

Glad to hear this. thanks. I'm wondering about Toyo T1 Sport since they have received high praise and come in a little cheaper than RE003. Any insight on those?
