Sorry for the delay all!
A brief update for now - I've taken #167 to the Alps this week, and I'll be heading to the Nurburgring today.
The PS5s are a fantastic road tyre - as expected!
It's tricky to compare to a track oriented tyre (AD08RS) as they do things very differently. For example...
Thanks both for the feedback so far.
@Mike256 have you noticed any difference in the fluid?
I'm keen to re bleed using Clip (I don't have access to this myself), just to make sure there's no air in the system. The other way is to ABS stop on grass/gravel - not the ideal method.
Still at 30, but will be doing a dawn raid into Wales this weekend. I'll dial them in!
Only still at 30 all around as I've not had chance to experiment yet.
Absolute grip is fantastic. Gives a more playful balance vs the Yokos so far, but I've not 'pressed on' properly.
I had been around 28psi, but on my recent trip to The Dales with my chassis refresh (including damper rebuild) I was fine at 30psi. Definitely very 'sporty'.
I had the PS5s at 30psi straight from the tyre shop, but I suspect I'll need to up the pressures on the front a fair amount.
Very good...
They're on!
I'll report back over the next few days with some feedback vs. the Yokohama AD08 RS tyres I had on previously.
They do feel very different! I've not had chance to put many miles on them yet, via my usual 'test loop'.
The 'squish test' of the sidewalls as the tyres were off did...
Morning all. Which brake pads are people using?
My experience so far:
PBS ProRace: very firm pedal (I liked this). No fade, took a bit of temperature to work. Great bite. But they chewed the discs up, with lots of brake dust which got a bit tiresome when I cleaned it the wheels.
Brembo: from...
Not to hijack the thread... But I can't resist - sorry @photo_ed !
On my Dales trip today I was out with the kit cars, not often the Clio is the car chonk!
