Exactly, doesn’t mean that travel further then the tire is better. Or that manufactured in Europe is better than manufactured in Thailand. AMDK meh?

Europe will be using old rubber. Imagine the rubber has to travel from Malaysia/Thailand go Europe amd after that take ship all the way back here. Thailand will be fresh rubber! Collect the sap from the rubber trees straight away made into tyres and sent here. Should be much better.

There is different btw European and Thai.

European is softer. Grip better.

European is better for cheongster.

Nowadays, tyre does not necessarily comes from fresh latex

But European PS4 tends to chip off if hit Potholes...Thailand Tyres more suitable for Local Hot Weather.

Is it so? I did not encounter it previously.

I like European PS4 dry grip more than Thai.

I drove up Cameron previously . Almost no need brake all the way up.

“Cheongsters” would be better shod with Sport Cups and not faffing about with minute differences between MIT vs MIE tires.
 

But enough people buy into the idea that there is a healthy PI a business dealing with these European tires - to each his own!

European PS4 has stiffer sidewall than Thai PS4.

Slightly softer than PSS.

For high speed cornering, EU PS4 give more confidence to drivers.

My top choice is still PSS.

No potholes in Germany.... German taiyah no need to tahan potholes.  Thai tyres probably built to tahan pothole every km.

I didn’t like my pss that much. Ps4 had much better wet traction.

yes.

But pss is graded higher because it got more grip

but normally more grip will mean more surface contact = less grooves for water to flow.

more grip will mostly mean a softer compound = botak faster😅
