Just a bit of a thought experiment in terms of current performance tyres and interested to hear thoughts. For me part of driving and enjoying cars is feeling them near/even slightly over the limits of grip and having the car move around a bit. Rwd cars in particular where this becomes more fun.
With certain tyres I've experienced that's fairly easy to achieve and the drop off when the tyre is overcome isn't monumental.
So the question, are modern tyres like Michelin PS4S too good? The grip available appears to be huge, so the speeds are that much higher, but then the drop off in grip seems to be way more marked when it does eventually happen. Almost makes the whole thing slightly less enjoyable as it all becomes a lot more "spiky".
I guess it goes in tandem with cars having more performance as well, but interested to hear whether I'm alone in thinking this? Almost makes me want to go back to a slightly more all round tyre type and getting more driving enjoyment as opposed to outright pace.
