I have both PS4 and PS4 AS on my RWD V6. The PS4 is the larger 20" setup, while the AS is the smaller 19" setup. Personally, if you don't want to swap tires (or buy new wheels and sensors as I did), go for the AS. They were designed for the C8 Corvette to pull 1 g, and they're very pliable in hot and cold temps. Unless you're really hammering it you will not tell the difference on the street. For road noise, I don't think there's a major difference with the tread, but certainly in size, as my 20" tires are slightly louder.

I ended up going with continental dw06 plus. Hopefully it was the right choice. They're installed next week. They cost me $1850 cdn installed.

Another good choice. Ultra high performance all seasons are very good, I don't imagine you'll be disappointed.

Correct. Ultra High Performance all-season tires are the equivalent of High Performance summer tires just 10 year ago as far as tire technology goes. For street driving, you’ll retain about 95-98% of the performance over dedicated summer tires. On the track there may be a bigger delta only because you can push it harder. But when the temp drops below 50F, the advantage is the all-seasons and they’re much safer to drive aggressively well below that whereas summer tires just become downright dangerous.

I see where you're coming from with Vancouver's rainy and dry mix. Deciding between all-season and sport tires for your F-Type can be a bit tricky, especially when you want a quiet ride.

All-Season Tires: These are usually pretty quiet and comfortable, which sounds like a win for daily driving if a quieter cabin is your thing. Plus, they handle rain well, which is a big deal for Vancouver weather. If you're mostly cruising around town or on highways and want to keep things peaceful inside the car, all-seasons are probably the way to go. And hey, they’re also cheaper at $1,800 CAD, so that’s a nice bonus.

Sport Tires: Now, sport tires will definitely give you better grip and sharper handling when it's dry, which can be a lot of fun. But they’re often a bit louder and don’t always love the rain, especially if it gets heavy. They can also wear out faster. If you’re chasing that extra sporty feel, they might be worth the extra $2,400 CAD. Just keep in mind they might not be as cozy or quiet.

Honestly, if you want a smooth, quiet ride and need solid performance in the rain, I’d lean towards the all-seasons. They keep things simple, safe, and a bit more budget-friendly. Hope that helps you out!
