Hi there
WOW WOW, ******* WOW!
OK they like warmer temps, roads mainly dry, some damp/greasy patches but the grip was totally bonkers from both axles.
Car is not understeering, also these tyres are not like MPSS which would grip grip grip and then that grip would progressively go and you were going real quick, but the feedback was good.
On these it is like they grip grip then start to lose traction a bit but you push a bit more and they re-grip and then your going just a quick, car just moves around a bit more, well your going quicker actually, though subjective feedback does not feel any better than MPSS.
The fronts have turned on much quicker than the rears as same corners and roundabouts where the car was trying to push wide, it is now neutral and going faster.
I think in Summer dry and wet they will be like **** to a blanket literally, they really seem to like temperature.
I need to see how they perform on next cold morning as they do seem to have a trait of the Pzero which is for first few corners they are lacking grip, don't take heat like MPSS did, not quite as bad as Pzero, but MPSS were awesome as I could just drive out my drive on a cold morning with no wheel spin.
On the Pzero even easing the clutch up span wheels with no throttle due to drive way angle and even reversing on drive when getting home they could spin if I was a little to eager. On the MPSS they never wheelspan, whereas the PS4S does, but maybe they still have a touch of grease in them.
But after 150 miles the rears seem to finally be settling, the fronts seem to have come alive just after 50 miles, could be compound difference between regular and K1 tyre. Or could be fact K1's were made March last year and the fronts were made last September so fresher.
The tyre fitters were like WTF your car is squeaking like crazy as turning out of their work shop, the tyres were literally sticking to their work shop surface.
Also another down point, the car is spraying stones and dirt up into the wheel arches, so much noise when pushing on, they fling everything up, so splash guards are a real must as these things are like following a gritter.
Back to comfort and noise though, oh my god, the added compliance into the chassis and the car is utterly silent at motorway speeds, at 40mph you can hear the road as you can in pretty much any car if you coast, but at higher speeds with over 1500rpm silence apart from engine soundtrack.
I do love how much comfort and NVH reduction they have had on the car, league apart from the MPSS on that, the Pzero were pretty quiet too, but these are even quieter.
