That will ultimately be your decision to sell or keep but 2 weeks ago RX8 Jon and I swapped cars and it's the first time I've seen my car on the road since it's been finished. I don't want to blow my own trumpet and please don't take this the wrong way but I saw what other people see when I get nods and thumbs up from other motorists. These cars look fantastic on the road. They aren't a Civic like everyone else has that's been done to death a million times. I love the fact most people overlook these cars.
The wife's just swapped to bridgestone turanzo all season 5s, lot's of grip and confidence when braking in cold damp conditions and they feel much safer on her audi tt . I'm staying with ps4 on my tsport not the best in the colder weather but great grip in the dry warmer conditions.
I think most performance tyres have pros and cons. Even 2 weeks ago when I went for a spirited mountain run on the RE003's they still didn't squeal around tight corners even though they had reached the minimum tread depth although I started to notice slight understeer. The PS4's seem to be quieter at 60kph too.
I will definitely let everyone know. You won't notice a massive difference in grip going to a 205 but they fill out the wheel arch a tiny bit more. I know I'm limited to specific performance road tyres on a 16 inch rim. I enquired about the Yokohama Neova but they tyre shop said they'd wear out very quickly. Even if the PS4's are great tyres I think I'll try a performance Yokohama next time.
It must just be the standard for Bridgestone, I had re003's on my turbo falcon, was such a fan of them that I got a set for my XR4 Fiesta, despite them putting 1 incorrect sized tyre on my falcon and them botching the alignment, damn thing still pulls to the left but I won't be going back and I've swapped back to pirellis 20x275 I've got the ps4's on my mustang, really don't rate them, especially when cold, they couldn't hold onto a job if their father owned the company, the Pirelli's are much better
I'm going to use that "couldn't hold onto a job" quote. That's funny. Thanks for the feedback on the PS4's. I've got a feeling you're driving a car with substantially more hp than my rubber band powered corolla. I can only give them a try and if they aren't for me I'll try another brand or model next time. It's a shame that companies no longer care about trying to retain customers as I would have happily kept using Bridgestone products for our cars.
At the moment, just the dragon sport, being from Victoria where if you are caught doing 2k's over the limit in a 60 zone they want to impound your vehicle, fine you half a weeks wage, give you 3 demerit points and imprison your eldest child, im limited to lower end speeds and working in the Dandenong Ranges, it's lower end speeds on winding roads that are wet 3/4 of the year with the occasional spirited exit from hairpin bends and from the lights and rolling through big sweeping 60kph corners without the need to brake while everyone else generally slows to 40, I've found the dragon sport are definitely good value for money, even while holding a big heavy falcon on the road. With exception of the 6 months I had the re003s on it, I've been using the pirelli for around 8 years and am only on my 2nd set of fronts and 3rd set of rears. Regarding the ps4s on the mustang, I find it telling that the m.y. prior to mine came from factory in Aus with Pirelli Pzero and a couple years later went back to Pirelli, having only come standard out here with the ps4s for 1 or maybe 2 years.
$100 difference between the full set. Yeah it's different but not substantial. The PS4 is in the same league as the RE003's imo. If the are in fact substantially better then for $25 extra per tyre it's a bargain. Thanks for your input.
keep up these great videos man love watching little updates
Thanks.
Good to see you back man. Good to see you have a topic to share again.
I've been having selling
Sportivo thoughts. Need inspiration ha.

I’m thinking about Changing to ps4 after my re003s wear out too so will love to hear your thoughts down the line. Will also go from 195-205 finally

Ain't nobody got time for that!
Please let us know how you get on with the PS4s.
I most definitely will. RX8 John raves about them. We swapped cars for a mountain run recently and I found the tyres to be quite good.

What model of Pirelli tyre are you using?

These tyres are not really a sensible comparison, they are quite different prices, re003 is a budget performance tyre
