Summer is around the corner, l am ditching the cheapy stock tires for some high performance tires..
I dont track it, but would like to have some good grip cornering and accelerating.

I also use it for summer only, will put snow tires on Nov - April .
so winter and snow traction is not a concern for me.
Anyone has any suggestion?

Ditto. My PS4s have lunatic grip levels, dry or wet. Steering column feels like could bend from friction grip provided...they are that sticky!

I can vouch for the General G-Max-AS-05.
I pushed them hard at the WTD event a couple weeks ago, and they were my saving grace.
In fact, there were times when I wished they would have given just a bit.

Have driven Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on an Jaguar F-Type R, (v8). By far the best tires I have driven on. I mean I drove them in pouring rain and it still provided superb grip under 3/4 throttle. Almost unleashed all 560 horses.
Holy sh** that's a fun beast to drive!!
I borrowed the car for a week. One hell of an exotic :spaz:
BTW, pirelli P-Zero's were mounted on the front. Still provided awesome grip but it's a RWD car so....

That’s my experience in the rain as well. The tires inner 2 thirds are rain dedicated

I accidentally took a ramp going far faster than I thought I was going. (The sign said 20, I was 3x that) The PS4S pulled through without even a hint of understeer.

Those G forces were extreme, like riding a rollercoaster extreme. That was a rush of adrenaline I need more of.
