[MadCaptainJack]

Hmmmm. Can anyone comment on how the MPS4Ss perform in the cold?

I should imagine exactly the same. They're a high performance summer tyres so the compounds will be rubbish in properly cold weather.

Made it a little lairy today using anything more than half throttle before they'd warmed up!

Yeah, so they're fine when they've warmed, just like my Goodyears.

Definitely won't be swapping them on my Quadrifoglio

For the benefit of anyone stumbling across this thread while researching what tyres to put on their Quadrifoglio, there's no longer any stock (in the usual places, at least!) of PS4Ss in the size AR recommends for the QV's rear wheels (285/30 R19), and no word on when they'll be restocked.

I’m looking at a used QV and factoring in a new set of tyres - are PS4S still the go to choice?

Given the difficulty in finding rears, is anything else worth considering?

[MikeGTi]

PS4S seem to be the go-to choice still, although I know people running Yokohama Advan Sport V107s and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics and liking them.

I'm waiting on a response to find out if Continental are going to be making the SportContact 7 in 285/30R19, otherwise I'll probably be going down the PS4S route.

I'm looking for a new set for my Quad once the winters come off and I'm struggling to find any P4S' available. ASs above, the Conti SP7s aren't available in the right size for the rears so I'll probably end up going for Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports.

Assymetrics and advan sport are a step down from the recommended aren't they though.

GY SS is the GY go to, but despite decent dry and wet performance not a patch on dry corsas and wears terribly IME.

When my alpine come off MP4S this time for me, seems ATS have them in correct sizes.

Just ordered some from ATS. They are showing as available on the website but when I ordered them for fitment on 1st April I had a call back saying they won't be available until 21st April. I'm happy to wait for them.
