    **Unofficial Tyre Thread**

    You persuaded me towards the PS5s for the wear rate and comfort as my FR doesn't have DCC and I don't rag the car so no need for a sportier tyre Is it best to get a wheel alignment done when changing all fours?

    **Unofficial Tyre Thread**

    I know tyres will be different on each car but would you say the A6 is better than the PS5? I only do 3-4k miles a year and the priority will be less road noise, comfort and tread life
