Premium Contact 6 should trump PS3, fresh design, all the benefits of contact sport 5 with better life and wet performance, I would give that a shot.

I replace my Pilot Sport 4 with CPC6 and have been very happy with the improvement in steering response, feedback and grip is good but not used it in anger, not had a chance to see a track yet and it is not on my 5, but should be good there, this is on my daily where I try tyres before putting them on the 5.

I use PS3 but that is because the PS4 is not on list 1a or available in 195/50/R15. I would try the contis as they are list 1a but not available in my size , boo and indeed hoo.

I normally use the autoexpress annual summer tyre group test as a guide

www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/91856/tyre-reviews-best-car-tyres

as the tests are clearly defined and the results and explaination are clear. I am no tyre expert so YRMV.

I'd noticed that too. Seems odd...it's been out for a while and the Cup Sport 2 (for example) is on the list.

Does anyone have the inside track on the 2019 list? I'm keen to know whether the PS4 is likely to be added...
