I've previously owned the PS4S and ContiSportContacts (CSCs) - both are summer tires. The PS4S is the best summer tire I have ever owned. I replaced the latest, worn CSCs (2/32 - 3/32) on my golf r with some Pilot Sport All Season 4s. I knew I would trade a bit of grip for better tread wear and spring/fall flexibility. With summer tires it was hard to time tire changes; I'm in New England where temps can seesaw between 30F and 60F in March, April and November.
In my initial drives with the PSA/S4s at 80F I am not feeling as much traction as I expected. It could be I am biased by the chirps I hear in corners, when maybe the softer rubber of the CSCs slides more quietly.
Has anyone else tried these and felt the same? From the reviews I thought I would not be able to feel any noticeable change in dry weather traction, especially against the worn CSCs.
