Purchased these for my 2008 BMW E92 M3. They were recommended on an M3 facebook page by multiple people as a decent value alternative to Michelins etc. Some people even said they were better than the flagship premium brands, so thought they were worth a go!
Initial impressions were ok, but over the space of a few weeks started to notice their flaws. I found that even when you engaged a little bit of power (not flooring the pedal) the traction light would regularly light up. This was not the case with the outgoing Michelins PS4's. I also found in the wet they did not give much confidence. In dry condition they are improved, but certainly not in the same league as Goodyear Eagle F1's, PS4/PS5's etc. That I could somewhat live with given their price...but regretted not buying Michelin or Continentals.
What I have found really poor though is the wear....and reading the reviews here I am clearly not the only one! They have only lasted about 6k miles and it is not driven particularly hard. This is roughly half, maybe closer to a third of the life of the outgoing Michelins. Having also had PS5's on a Mercedes A35 AMG that have lasted 20k miles and that is AWD, along with PS4's on a 335d Tourer Xdrive lasting 17k miles, these fall seriously short.
So therefore they really are false economy. Not only do they somewhat impede the performance of a powerful car (and that's what they seem to be aimed at), if they only last 30-50% of that of a Michelin they work out to be quite expensive!
