The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S, Bridgestone Potenza Sport and Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport are three of the very best ultra high performance road tires for sport cars, but just how usable are these tyres on track, as their design goal is not to be a track tyre?
To find out I've run a track day simulation on these tyres, using a FWD Golf GTI MK8, and run what I would describe as a typical track day.
Full test can be found here:

We will test to see which is fastest, which offers the most grip, which has the best steering feel and handling, and look at how the tire wear during this extreme track driving.
It's worth noting the track used is very hard on the left front, as is the Golf 8 so the wear you see in this video will likely be higher than most tracks.
