In the end I put the latest Conti Sport Contact 7s on. Had to go up 10mm on the rears but no issues with rubbing etc. Just beware in the UK the big chains may not fit tyres in non-OEM sizes for liability reasons, so better to go to a local independent.

 

I went for GOODYEAR F1 ASSYMETRIC 6 - I have them on other cars and they are 30 percent cheaper compared to P4S set. I can recommend from experience but did not have them on QV yet, waiting for season to start.

 

Could 255/40-19 (F) and 295/35-19 (R) tires be fitted on a QV without robbing?

 

255 and 40 for the front seems like it would rub to be

I know people have issues with ps4s rubbing in 255/295 and I think those were 35/30 fwiw

 

I managed to source a set of OEM size MPS4S and as expected, they’re a night and day difference to the Corsa’s. Grip in all conditions (aside from near subzero) is always available, they’re quieter and the ride is softer. The Corsa’s are tucked away for summer track days 👌🏻

 

Since I started the thread, I've been looking at the Continental Sport Contact 7, which has aced every tyre test it's been in. It would mean going up 10mm on the rears as they don't come in the OEM size, but that shouldn't be an issue. My Quad is in at the dealer at the moment, but I will fit the Conits when she comes back.

 

It seems the Pilot Sport 4S, Potenza Sport and Goodyear Eagle F1 are all highly rated for the Quadrifoglio and not much between them, despite some forthright "opinions" on here I found the Potenzas for £883 fitted here in the UK, which is a good price, so I think I will go with them and report back in winter!

 

Any update on the Potenzas with winter knocking down the door? My quad is still on Corsas 🥶 as there are no OEM size all season tyres here in the UK. Keen on the MPSS though so an update on the Potenzas to compare will be most welcome 👍🏻

 

I just put Michelin Pilot Sport 5s on and they are good. Quiter than the Pirrellis run flats. I only got 23000kms out of the Ps. The tier wear rating is much higher on the Michelins.

 

Anyone any thoughts on Bridgestone Potenza Sports? They won Evo tyre of the year last year but most reviews place them slightly behind the Sport 4S. I know the 5S is out now but hard to find and not may sizes...

 

I chose them to replace the Corsas and I was very impressed. They are excellent in dry warm weather and also confidence inspiring in the wet, which the Corsas certainly were not.
I'd recommend them wholeheartedly for street driving. They are not a track tire by any means like the Corsas, although perfectly adequate for HPDE events, but not 10/10ths racing on a track. They will get chewed up up in an hour or less

 

This is why I left other car forums. Ask an innocent question and 3 messages in, keyboard warriors are trading insults. Everyone is allowed an opinion and taking offence if it differs from yours is childish, so grow up!

 

I gave you an opinion on tires without the need to question your knowledge on them or try to make childish bets over the Internet to prove a point.

If you feel I am a keyboard warrior with my responses, I'm fine with that.

 

If your DD your car, and you get the four seasons where you live Cold Winter/Hot Summer, you're going to have to compromise on your tire selection. The only tire that just doesn't cut it are the Pirelli Corsas. They are great tires in only optimal conditions. Any deviation in temp/conditions and your riding on a hockey puck in cold/surfing in water.
on the track they were scalpel sharp, but you had to manage them otherwise they just melted....ask our resident tire killer @BostonDMD
that's why I really like the MPSS, more than capable in dry & wet; my QV does the Yogi Bear in the winter

 

No, it's definitely a summer tyre, but reputedly much better than the Pirellis in the cold / wet.

 

After much research and consideration I went with Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires. They are excellent for daily driving and spirited canyon carving. They’re not track tires and will get eaten up in 10 tenths tracking but are perfectly suitable for HPDE track events.
Prodigious grip in warm dry conditions and they do well in the wet too. Not a cold weather tire at all though.

 

Разве Michelin PS4S не является всесезонной шиной (отсюда и часть названия 4S) на 4 сезона?
[/ЦИТИРОВАТЬ]


это всего лишь название модели, а не означает "4 сезона"🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

 

After a bit of digging, I think I am going with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Supplied and fitted for £1090 by blackcircles here in UK.

 

I can echo the comments about Supersports. They may be my ‘all season tire’ choice when my ‘24 QV comes, but I will have to buy a second set of wheels as the car is coming on tecnico wheels with corsas.
My experience with super sports comes from driving a 993 year round on super sports in the North Carolina climate and they seem to do just fine when the temperature drops below 50 but then I drive very carefully when I’m not in warmer temperatures. Another interesting find was that I had supersports on all four corners of the 993, but when it came time to replace the rears, they were no longer available so I put ps4s on the rears. I have to get very careful and aware because the ps4s have more grip in warm temperatures on the rear than the supersports on the front and I end up with very Squirrley handling. I just arranged to sell my Macan GTS tonight, which is on latitudes, but I don’t know if latitudes are made in the tire size for the Giulia Quadrifoglio. Once the Macan is gone, I’ll only have the 993 to drive and I will need to replace the front tires with ps4s because it will be my only car and I want more predictable handling.
All knowledgeable comments are welcome to guide me to the set of tires I will need on my non-summer, Giulia QV wheels.

 

The PSS is a max summer tire not a all season tire.

 

I'm happy with the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

 

+1 on that. OEM size, very predictable tire because of its length of service.
just had a new set delivered today from the Tire Rack

 

Those who believe that all-season tires are equally suitable for use in both winter and summer are mistaken. It is impossible to combine such different characteristics in one tire. The "sun/snowflake" badge or "All Season" inscription is intended for motorists who drive in countries with a mild climate.

Tire manufacturer tests show that all-season tires have up to 50% less grip on loose snow than natural winter tires. The production of such tires is the desire of manufacturers to combine the advantages of winter and summer tires in one tire. All-weather tires are characterized by rounded sidewalls like summer models, and a deeper and more embossed tread gives out a winter component. But in winter tires, the tread is self-cleaning from snow, and in summer tires, the main thing is good grip with asphalt, so the tread of such tires is lower. And even in composition, winter and summer tires are radically different. In winter, silicon is added for softness, which means for better grip on slippery roads. And summer ones are more rigid, which allows them to be operated in conditions of summer heat without losing the quality of car controllability.

There are several reasons for the popularity of all-season tires:

• First of all, this is savings, since buying one set of tires for all occasions is much cheaper. There is a trade-off between safety and economy;

• The second reason is that new cars leave the assembly line and enter the showroom, as a rule, on all-season tires. The manufacturer cannot know in advance in what period of the year the car will be purchased. And often the new owner is in no hurry to change tires according to the season;


The conclusion is clear: all-season tires will not provide you with the proper level of handling in specific weather conditions. Tires specially designed for this will do much better. Don't skimp on your safety.

All season tires are complete nonsense and everyone who believes that this rubber is good is complete morons. Especially for Quadrifoglio! For summer, you need a summer tire performance. And for the cold season (from autumn to spring) buy Performance Winter.


P.S. I worked in a tire shop, send me a private message and I will help you

 

Agree on all points, but need to qualify these based on climate and driving style. There are compromises, but some of it is at the limit, many drivers ever drive at.

 

Continental DWS06+ All Season Performance Tires.

 

Don't ruin your car car driving dynamics with all-season tyres, get Michelin PS4S, but I also strongly recommend using forum's search function - a lot of discussions about tyres and also other things you are asking about in other threads.
