Hy guys!

Well i need set of tyers for summer, i got my new C4S but i would like to have new set of tyers for hot summer, i like to drive fast and need something good, any suggestions? thanks.
 
You should keep an eye on the pressures in hot weather. If your running for instance 40psi in the rears in normal temperatures, say 20 Deg. then driving spiritedly in 30+ Deg heat, like on a track for instance will have the pressure rise considerably. 10psi in 5 miles or so. This extra 10psi will wreck your tyres if you continue.

My PS2's held up really well in 30 Deg heat on normal roads, but on the track it didn't take them long at all to lose grip and become unsafe.
 
As a matter of Interest, what is the normal road use tyre pressure ?
 
Depends on the tyre. But on my C2S the cold pressures are -

Fronts 235x35x19 are 33psi
Rears 295x30x19 are 39psi

IMO I would just stick with the standard pressures for your tyres and what ever your manual says. I have yet to experience any problems with tyres not performing on the road in hot weather. Mind you Hot and UK don't necessarily go together....
