Or anything comparable honestly. Just looking to replace my super beat up factory PS4S before my track day on Aug 30 without massively breaking the bank. The best I've been able to find is my home dealer offering new PS4S for $870 all around. But I'm thinking I want an upgrade if possible.

Thanks!

I saw a guy post up in a Facebook CTR group that going to the actual dealer was the cheapest route for him. This is the photo he included.

$800-$900 for PS4S is about as good as you'll get and that's an incredibly attractive price point relative to the performance it provides. If you jump up to Cup 2s, you'll spend at least double. Not sure how serious your track pursuits are but the price of admission may not be worth it. You're the only one who can decide that. Take a look at the Pirelli P Zero. Last I checked Tire Rack many weeks ago they were on closeout. I would also give the Falken Azenis RT660+ consideration along with the Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RS.

:)just fyi. if you get sucked into serious track work. its a very slippery slope... I have been racing for 12 years now .......it is not for the faint of heart. more like cubic dollars..... just to get on track, let alone run at the pointy end of the pack.... you have been warned!!:cool:

I’d grab those OEMs from your dealer, that’s about as good as you are going to do. For a single track day the PS4S works fine, for regular work I would want a dedicated wheelset.

Maybe isn't what you are looking for but tirerack is selling Bridgestone Potenza Sports the edition with low rolling resistance with a massive price cut.
A set can cost you less than $460 after combining all discounts.

Got to the page, enter your vehicle info, pick factory size and set the Eco Focus filter.

My dealer quoted me $210 per tire a few days ago for the oem tires…to me, thats a hard deal to beat.
