Default They say Spring is coming

So I'm getting ready.
Installed the Cobb AP a few weeks ago. Car was quick now it's crazy quick. Also installed the PDK update and PDK Relearn. Car shifts more like the GT3 now. Very happy overall with the Cobb easy install and the overall attitude of the tune. Good job and easy to uninstall when I need service.
Michelin 4S NO rated are on and could not be happier to have the Pzero's off. Much quieter and for me an overall better ride.
Did a full detail, Gyeon Prep then Gyeon Can Coat. Discovered Gyeon products last year and so far really liking the ease of use and overall quality of the product. Can Coat is quartz lite with great gloss and especially good over PPF with great durability.
Bring on the sun and twisty horse country back roads of south east PA, ready to go.

I hear those Michelins are pretty much better than the Pirellis in every area. Enjoy! Using my Pirellis at Sebring in 2 weekends just to intentionally use them up as fast as I can so that I can make the switch.

Spring indeed is coming even to northern New England. Can’t wait to changeover from my snows to the new Michelins in a couple of weeks. All in time for the twisty stuff in NH, ME and VT.

I couldn't wait for it to warm up in NE, it's spring and the summer tires are going on.

I really love the look of your turbo. Something about the turbo model being silver that seems like a must!

We just had another 3-4" of snowfall last night here in Calgary. My birthday is on Tuesday though, and I'm determined to get mine out of hibernation.

I hope I am not the only idiot dumping my Pzeros (which I don't like at all) with only 2500 miles for the new Michelin sport 4s tires. I can't wait 3 years on a new car to switch to my preferred brand and after reading all the positive reviews, I felt I had to change. Can't deal with the hassles of selling the used Pzeros because I am barely 10 weeks post shoulder surgery. The parts guy gave me a decent deal on the Michelins and mounting and balancing is only 200 bucks.

I'm so tempted to do the same thing, but I have literally only 500 km on the brand new P-zero's that came with the car when it was CPO'd. I just can't do it - but I know that I'm going to be 3+ years based on the mileage I will likely put on this car.

Well, my C4S is my most expensive car purchase and is perfectly optioned for me. Compared to some of the GTS and Targa models, mine came in much lower and I didn't add stuff like PSE, fancy wheels, RAS etc. So, I am thinking of this additional expenditure as an option that I did not get when ordering my new car.

I'm in the same boat except I get to drive the PA4s in the winter.

Dare I say they are better than the p-zeros...

I have PA4's on my golf r. Just replaced them with a fresh set of PA4's again as it's been a great winter tire... But no, it's trash compared to the Pirelli from a dry weather performance perspective
