Michelin Sport 4S vs MPSS
#41
yeah, i was surprised that those beemers are packing twin turbos...plus its almost ???500 lbs lighter???...pretty sure he was running a stock set up...the look on his face was "what the ****...how can this dude still be on my 6..." i could tell when his overboost kicked in because he nudged ahead and i thiught he was going to start pullin away, bt it only lasted about 2 seconds then i began reeling him in again. .... i would give my right nut for a way to have adjustable camber on these cars so we could lower them without chewing through tires every three months and for a less expensive option for front/rear swaybars...

It's *evidence* (double yellow line).
I'd love to run my car that low but I don't think I could get home in it, or leave, if I swapped springs in my driveway. I doubt I could get into the parking lot at work either. It's too bad, because the reduced body roll would significantly improve cornering.

Also my problem with using drop springs (other than my aversion to replacing tires so often). I am running oversize tires and I dont have the clearence in the back. so unless I can roll the fender lip, which I dont think we can do on our cars (I know you cant do it on the F Type, not sure about the XF).

But as far as tired, we're not debating anymore, right?
It's the 4S now over the Super Sport, and never the Pirelli. Man those things were like butter, they melted so fast.

I had the Pilot 4S installed this past Friday. They are amazing. Much quieter than the P-Zero and stick well to the ground. I went for stock sizes for my '15 R. The front P-Zero were pretty much bald on the inside tread closest to the car. The other half of the tread was very close to wear marks. I only have 9800 miles on the car, but do canyon carving couple of weekends a month. When I went in for the CEL issue, the dealer mentioned that I need a front-end alignment.
What PSI are you all with 4s setting it to? I currently have it at 36psi, but feel it may be set on the low-side for this tire.

There are wear indicators on the tire.. when they reach that point, time to replace. I did mine earlier than expected since I had a nail in one of the fronts and it wasn't fixable. I didn't want to buy another P-Zero, so bit the bullet on a set of 4s.

The increase in noise is the result of uneven tread block wear, not due to an imbalance.
