It may not have been the tires that caused the OP's crash but I can tell you without hesitation that the PS 4's are a much better tire all the way around but *especially* in the rain than the SS's.
I got my car w/ 3500 miles on the clock - inherited the SS's - drove it in the rain a few times and I was like - WTF is wrong w/ this car.
Started to research a better alternative - spoke w/ Rudy at the TireRack - recommended the PS4's which I switched out at 6500 miles.
1st time I drove in a rainstorm - there was a huge difference - no more hydroplaning.
Now have 12K miles on the car - drove in the rain recently and zero problems - all the above in Sport mode.
I'm just trying to help here but, the SS's in the rain are dangerous imo. |
Dunno what you are talking about. PSS are NOT dangerous in the rain. PSS are widely known to be one of the best all around summer tires around. Have driven at least 40,000 miles on PSS tires on my 1M and can only say good things about them...even on a car as aggressive as mine. Never once an issue in the rain or otherwise. The PS2s I tried on the other hand; were not so good!
PS4S are surely good but only minimally better by all accounts. They are merely a refinement of the already fantastic PSS.
