Nearly 30K out of an all season that handles damn near as good as the PS4s is fine with me. Performance tires handle but will wear fast. If you want a slow wearing tire, you compromise traction, handling, and braking. You can't have it all.

So far enjoying the PS4S, switched from pilot supersports. My go to in the past was the conti dws but haven't had them on any of my bmws.
I'm a believer in buying the best tire for the purpose as it's the only part of the car that touches the road. |

also you said you dont look the price. Well, maybe you're lucky, but I never finished a set of tire , because : more 10years, flat or pot hole. so the cost matter when you need to change 1 tire before end of life, or worst, all 4 because you need equal tire |

All those other things are not factors, just unlucky events irrelevant to the tire brand/type. Like I said, your post didn't make any sense to me, esp considering you seem to be agreeing w me on the value-aspect.

On my 2014 535i I went from the ROF Michelin Primacy's. When those wore out, I, on a whim, bought the (non-ROF) Pilot Super Sport's. I didn't like them at all as, to me, they felt squishy and lacked steering feel; I went back to the Primacy's. I know I seem to be in the minority here. |

We're having an on-topic conversation in the off-topic forum? My head hurts.

Yes, if you push it that far to be in the realm of possibility of getting into a wreck, for sure, but I'm saying that I don't to anything like that esp since I'm purely a road user driving w other ppl, so, no real benefit to me.

Nothing like that. Car pulling from a stopped lane into my lane and being able to stop with just inches to spare. My passengers were sure we were going to hit them. example 2, 2 lanes of traffic, a car to my right just ahead of me, a truck turns left in front of us from the right side of the road. I didn't see the truck as the other car blocked my view. The other car hit the rear end of the truck, the truck moved slowly across my lane, debris flying everywhere. 45 zone and I was able to slow enough that the truck cleared from in front of me. My wife thought it was magic with the path clearing in front of us. In both cases if my car didn't have superior tires I would not have been able to slow in time and would have hit something. Absolutely no 'Pushing it' on my part.

Personally, I don't think it would've made much difference as the Indys aren't bargain-basement in terms of performance and I try to slow down even more and look out for ppl that are clueless and step out like that.

The Continental extreme contact sports 02 are just as good as the ps4s for 25% less money. The Continental extreme contact sport DW are awesome too, but they are a step below the 02s. I also have 2 sets of Continentals extreme contact DWS06, but they are all season tires that are awesome in the snow, but not when you are pushing a car to it's limits. It all depends on how aggressive of a driver you are. If you don't drive your car hard, then the Indy 500s are some of the best summer tires for the money. The Firestone Indy 500 is an exact copy of the Bridgestone Potenza RE003. I have the Indy 500 on a very powerful car, but I know how far I can push it before I start sliding.
