    I went through the exact same experience with the PS4S. I was a novice and they were fine, until they weren't. Summit Point Shenandoah really did a number on them. The main issue from what I can tell is that the pressures you need to start the session on to prevent them greasing up a few laps in, is way too low. Combine that with the soft sidewall and their impressive stickiness, and they're rolling over like crazy, leading to chunking.

    I second the recommendation for RS4s, they're priced well, seem to last, and I haven't found them more difficult to drive on or less communicative than the PS4S. The main thing I notice is that they're not cording the outside edge after a couple track days, and they're cheaper.
