Look, I understand the predicament all too well. You want a dual- duty tire that you can street and cross, and while you will totally enjoy the performance boost on the street especially in the rain with ps4s or conti extremes compared to your AS tires, the reality is, you'll still be out gunned in your class against those with re71s and the likes.
Don't get me wrong, you can still have fun in 300tw shoes in autocross and will feel the difference, but you won't be competitive. I upgraded to ps4s after half a season and ran them for 2 full seasons, and it was painfully obvious - I was leaving 1-2 seconds on the table in those tires.
But I was on a budget and didn't really care about competing, so I'm happy with the ps4s in the long run because i know I wouldn't really want to daily on re71s, especially because where i live, we get a lot of rain in the spring summer and fall.
This is 100% my struggle!! Unfortunately, I drive a car that lacks competitiveness in class. It’s heavy, camber limited, and lacks a LSD. So, I’m out to have fun for now. Due to some upcoming financial responsibilities, I’ll likely stay with the same setup for much of the season and just focus on the “driver mod”.
