Hello Rob
Nice to hear from you hope you and family are well
Seeing as this topic is already active I'll ask here - Where are people getting MPS4S from nowadays? I can't seem to find any in stock on the sites I usually used for the 255/30/R19 ones. They've not been discontinued have they?

Haven't herd of them being discontinued, no whisper yet of the 5S. Obviously they may be a victim of the current supply issues but other sizes seem to be OK. I went with 245/35 and they seem to be available
Camskill seem to have 2-day lead time for 255/30

Just replaced mine after 16k & 500 track miles, backs still had 3mm tread on them with a 235 alround set up.
Without the track time I would expect to get 25k+

Yeah I've gotten loads out of mine. Still plenty left on them to be fair but one has developed a little lump on the side wall so I was looking to get a new set of fronts.

Yeah the other sizes seem fine. Maybe these are just not that common and so they've not got so many with all the issues lately. I've never used that place before but may give it a go. I'll also see if the garage I usually get to fit my tyres can find any. See who can do them cheaper haha.
Looks like Michelin are a bit short at the moment, popular sizes selling out first. Ricky Elder mentioned it here (@ 4:20)

Have you considered the Cup 2 tyres? I have driven mine in the wet and they were fine for normal driving and they grip amazingly in the dry on a pull.

I looked at the Cup 2 but for what my car does the PS4S is the sweet spot for me. The car does occasional long runs across the country at night and often in the rain as I don't get a choice when I do it. I need the car planted in all weathers, one of the reasons I bought it.
The PS4S loses a bit of the wet performance against the PS4, I barely notice it, but it is there, I wouldn't want to lose any more but for that you do get a significant hike in dry performance, same with the Cup 2 over the PS4S
If I had anything more than stock/stage 1 or used it for different things I would consider the Cup 2, especially as I have winter rubber for it anyway.

Yeah I saw that a one a while ago. I convinced the more power you have the more a grippier tyre would help but the jury is out on longevity.

As flybynite said you need to find the balance in regards usage,as the majority of my usage is all year round driving the MPS4s meet my needs in grip/milage,they also work well for the the 2/3 trackdays a year.
Tbh if your having grip issues on the road maybe you've gone too far in the power dept as it's no use if you can't put it down......More is often less š¤
