Tyre recommendations for GT

[Davanger]

I am shopping for tyres on my 2016 GT and would like recommendations on best tyres for all-weather use. The ones that I got currently are:

• Front: 245/35/ZR20 - Michelin PS4s
• REAR: 285/35/ZR20 - Bridgestone Potenza Sport

The front ones are showing wear on the inside edge - is that typical?

I can recommend Continental Sportcontact 7, I love them. Working well at low temps for me.

We should make it a sticky really.

The PS4s or die crowd will be along shortly

I find the PS4 pretty good in all conditions.

I'm running Bridgestone's and have to say they've been pretty good, no more tramlining or spinning up in the damp like the old PZero's

P4s all round for me

 

[happydaze]

Very pleased with my Bridgestones...

Wear on the inside edge is definitely typical. Apparently there are some geo settings to mitigate this, but I've never been able to find out what they are. I took my car to wheels in motion (Black Boots) in Chesham and all they were able to do was set it to factory.

PS4s are great, but in the cold and wet they do leave a little to be desired. I have 2 sets of wheels and tyres. PS4s for Summer and Pilot Alpins for Winter.

A bit of a curve ball to consider…….

I run vredestein ultrac vorti on my Strad, had them of my MC Shift and previous high performance cars.

Always been very happy with their all round performance.

I nearly got a set of these, £624 for a set was a good price (camskill)
How do they compare to other tyres in your experience? Real world opinions are valuable , I couldn't find any for our cars.

I think it’s difficult to compare as generally you are replacing worn or old tyres with new, so they are bound to feel better.

But I have always felt confident and been happy with the all round usability on wet and cold roads etc and think they are particularly good on dry warm roads which is really the only time I push the boundaries.

Normally they'll will set it to anything you want. And also suggest some settings dependant on your desires.

Zero toe will sort the inner edge wear with the downside of slightly less sharp turn in

Seconded. The Quatrac all seasons are good IME as well

I had these on my Porsche 944 turbo and liked them. Certainly one to consider.

Another for Continental Sport Contact 7, amazing tyres, transformed wife's car, so much better than PS5's I have on daily, although Michelins do look good with velvet side walls.

Thank you @Scaf and others for recommending these. I must admit that I wasn't aware of these - let me check out the pricing etc. I was also thinking of the Conti's.....

I’ve got 285/35 R20 104y on rear , 2010 grancabrio
What load speed do I need on front the same ?

 

[Scaf]

Wear on the inside front edge is typical with the OEM alignment. From memory I think “the fix” is to go with a “zero toe” but someone who understands these things will be along shortly to confirm.

 

[Ebenezer]

Front tyres should go the same speed as the rear ones.

If you do low mileage, I've found the Potenza Sports offer a good balance of performance and value.
