Subjective comparison between Michelin Pilot Supersport and Pilot Sport 4 S (its replacement)

Thought you might find this interesting from the guys from www.tyrereviews.co.uk



He basically says it's an overall improvement in all areas, especially wet grip and the only downside is a small reduction in the on-limit feel of the tyre.

I think I found my next tyres :D

You running 19s? They're only launched in 19", 18" sizes will no doubt follow on but not sure when, which is a right pain! Also they are supposedly jolly expensive... As in more so than supersports...

I do agree though, these will likely be my next tyre choice....

Im on 18". By the time I'll replace them they'll be out in 18" sizes I'm sure. I haven't seen prices but shouldn't they be comparable to the Supersport?

When the Supersports first came out, I was paying over £200 for a rear.

My last set of rears were more like £150 each - and that was with the £ nosediving.

I expect the PS4S to do the same - but my rears used to last about a year (20k miles), and fronts double that, so with the reduced mileage I'll be doing on them I think they'll last about 4 years.
