is your comparison question yoko advan apex v601 vs michelin PS4 or PS4S?

the PS4 and PS4S appear the same but the PS4S is superior to the PS4 and currently, still the best max performance summer albeit costliest as well.

between yoko versus PS4, i'd get yoko since it costs a lot less and is rated higher. if it is versus the PS4S, then i'd get the PS4S.

for summer i'd consider these four
michelin pilot sport 4S, best but highest cost
continental extremeconstact sport, 2nd best, $200 less than PS4S
firestone firehawk indy 500, equal 3rd, $400 less than PS4S
falken FK510, equal 3rd, $400 less than PS4S

what are your current rims and tires?

I was referring to the ps4s, currently I'm running super sports on my car with tire sizes 235/40/19 and 265/35/19. I wanted to get a set of ps4s but not for that price tag, I saw the alex v601 were a good alternative

I think the yokos are reasonably good and i believe a few members on here have them. Try them out and provide us with more feedback after you've rolled on them for a bit.

after looking at the selection and prices in that size combo on tirerack, i think the yoko advan apex v601 is what i'd do, as well.

after some deeper research and more consideration, the firehawk 500 look like a better performer... so just going to order those
