PS4S is a very different tyre from the PS4.
That depends who you listen to. I'm not sure anyone has done the test yet, Michelin tell me for road driving the two are very close and it's only on track where the PS4S has a notable advantage.

Michelin have promised me they'll help me with the test but since then the PR guy has been ignoring my requests of getting a date in frown
I got the information from Michelin (right before they said they weren't available in my size!)

PS4 is the uprated Pilot Sport. PS4S is the uprated MPSS. Just daft choice of naming.

Ad08r if you want an all round tyre that will do track days but won’t kill you in the wet.
This, but I only get about 9,000 miles out of the rears, road use only.

In terms of product placement, yes, but in terms of technology the two tyres are WAY closer than the PS3<>PSS ever were.
