My specific tire choice always seems to be dictated by size availability and whats in stock more than what I want to run.

I got a set of 18" wheels to replace the stock 20s on my cayman and have been riding around on RS4s for the last several months, would have rather went RE71. Around here driving on 3 season tires is fine for about 99% of days. I like to do the occasional autocross and HPDE when I can and don't always want to be messing with changing tires and/or pads, so just live with all the compromises. Not trying to set any records and will just leave the sports car at home during bad weather.

I did exclusively run r888 on my old exige, it was either those or all seasons due to the funky tire sizes. Fine for nice days but a little scary the few times I got caught in rain or a cold for houston day.


Never really saw the charms in Michelin tires due to expense and only "medium good" objective performance, but after going through the stock set of PS4s on the cayman, I get it. FOr a normal casual car guy they are amazing. Great at nothing but pretty dang good at everything. Even driving in 35 degree weather they are OK. Great in the rain and will hold up to low level HPDE. PS4s really is a well engineered product for the intended application. Too expensive for me though.
