Yep, those are the ones. Looked great, drove great, wore great.

I assume the "MO1A Mercedes" is just Mercedes' version of the N-rating nonsense.
It's been a little while now since you've installed your PS4S tires, how have they been working out so far? So signs that they have difficulty dealing with cornering loads of a heavier car?

I switched cars. I put around 11K on them in my base Taycan before trading it in.

New GTS has PZeros I am aggressively trying to wear out so I can get the PS4S again.

I appreciate you posting that, but I am still skeptical. Rubber's rubber.
Different compounds have different characteristics.

Agree, plus how you drive will put different results with each manufacturer- what might work well for one may not for another. Not that much on offer in the UK if going for a manufacturer's approved and EV specific.

Congrats on the new car, so whats your impressions of the PS4S during those 11K miles? I assume pretty great, do you know how much the tires wore down in those miles?

I want to update this thread to reflect that I currently run the P-Zeros for EVs, as they are quieter.
