Tyres- What to go for?

[JakeH]

Hi!

Getting a Phase 1 back on the road after a lengthy slumber, with the idea of using this Spring, & selling in the Summer.

Currently sitting on old, perished Avon ZV(7?)'s, but looking to update while the alloys are being refurbished.

Considering the options below, but not sure which to go for, and if I'm missing any contenders?
- Michelin Pilot Sport 4
- Goodyear Eagle F1 A6
- Toyo Proxes Sport

Some advise, or user experience would be a useful insight!

Best,
Jake.

To be honest I can't see past PS4's, they have been excellent on mine.

I havent tried the others on a Vee, but I have used Proxes on other cars, they're OK but the PS4 is significantly better.

If you use the PS4, try dropping the pressure on the front - I run 20psi front, 30psi rear. There's so little weight up front it helps with understeer (I also run 1.5° -ve camber and a sniff of toe in).

Can you get PS4S In Vee sizes? They hands down have been the best road focused tyre I have used on performance cars

Why the PS4 instead of the PS5? Or is the PS5 not available in that size?

Availability & price at the time I bought them.

I have PS5 on my 220 Trophy, also excellent, but would I pay a premium for them over the PS4? No.
