R compounds are pretty hardcore tires ...
... which seem to be pretty useless in the wet. I guess it’s a bit like the Toyo R-888 which are fabulous once warmed up in the dry. Only problem where i live is the climate, mostly pretty chilly from zero to 10 degrees C and a lot of rain/wet roads. My friend used to put R-888 and even slicks on his Clio Rs for public roads during summer ( temps between 20-30C) but especially the slicks couldn’t warm up decently. I have always been a moderate man when choosing the gear for my car 😁.
Which Rs4 do you have ? Show us a few shots please !
Does it make sense or is it just nonsense ?
Last week i fitted new tires to the Megane RS, Michelin Pilot Sport 4s 245/35/19. Brandnew tires always give you that wow-feeling compared to the prvious tires you had. They are soo much better ...... OFFCOURSE THEY ARE BETTER ! Your old tires were worn o...
No 😂😂🤣🤣
I think you still have this funny pic in mind 😛. My Megane wheels next to the Clio. ...
In my opinion...
The Michelin has a stiffer construction than the other two giving significant handling gains when going for it 👍
And still they manage to make them last longer ...
... at least that’s what ‘they’ say 😁
In principle...
In practice performance will deteriorate beyond a certain wear level and you will not get the same braking or wet performance. But that’s not just a Michelin issue - as you say, no worn tire will perform as well as when it was new.
I have these on my RS4 they are very good but not great
Previously, I ran R-compound tires Bridgestone RE-11 (now discontinued) which were great but I let someone convince me that the PS4S is superior. Big mistake! But, that is on my car which is riding on KW V3 suspension and your mileage may vary. ...

I have one like that as well ...
A 2 litre diesel 😂, very uncool compared to your V8. Impressive car, a classic.
LOL! I love Diesels. I almost got a TDI days before VAG pulled all their cars out of the showroom floors.
BTW, I just got a set of PS4S's on my A3 today. The OEM tires were Continental all-season sliders...😂 ...
ON THE TRACK I SWITCH TO MY r COMPOUND TIRES
on he street it is a waste of money they wear quickly and you can never get near the potential of the tires on the street . iut's for the all show no go crowd . plus i never go less than 50 or 55 series they tend to break wheels on the road those 35 serie...
Yes track ....
Last time i took the Clio was back in 2018 😢. Didn’t find enough time in 2019. And yea .’’ 2020 🤢 Definately have to equip the Clio with these Ps4 when they become available in 17 inch.
Tire choises
I drove a lot with Michelins, which where tough. Bought two winter Continentals which does delete snow in front, and i end up with 4 Good years which upgrade the driving experience. My favorite three which i will put on any car from Toyota, BMW, Porsche, ...
The last one take my attention
Yokohama. I am very curious how they perform. How should they handle on a Porsche 911 991.1 GT3 4.0? Can it shorten lap times on SPA in dry weather conditions? A Nissan GTR Nismo is also a good candidate for a set of Yokohama’s for a fun day at SPA. Or le...
I'm looking to replace my AMG's tires with these...
But with so little driving... It's going to take a while before the tires get worn out!
Best choice either way.
They might be a little bit more expensive than other big brands but they’re worth it. It’s always a win win, especially compared to very cheap tires, my cousin once put ‘Flamingo’ tires on his Benz 190E back in the days 🤣. We always joked about it, one da...
Oh yes! I believe in good tires.
Tires are very important to me. And in my experience, Michelin is always one of the better ones; a good combination of reasonable lifespan combined with good grip, good performance, not too noisy, and acceptable comfort. A good overall package. A new crit...
Makes me think about a joke !!
Do you know the difference between 365 used condoms and a tire ? None, in both cases, it's a good year....
All depends on use
Been really happy with my 17" PS4S, definitely more compliant than the ad08r. I am looking forward to taking them to the track but I expect lower grip than the 08r.
Ah the 17 inch ....
My tire supplier told me he was able to get them here in Belgium .... i’m curious.
