Vantage- Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or Pilot Sport 4S
Discussion
I have to get new tires to replace to old Bridgestones on my 07 Vantage 4.3.
There would be the choice between 2 possible combinations of Michelins:
Pilot Sport 4 in 245/40 R19 front and 275/35 R19 rear (wider front, 8mm larger diameter) or
Pilot Sport 4S in 235/40 R19 front and 275/35 R19 rear (stock sizes)
Application would be spirited road use, no track.
Does anyone has a recommendation?

Ok, no doubt that the PS4S is a great tire...
What I wonder is whether there is any benefit taking the PS4 instead?
Like beiing better in the rain, as example, or lasting higher milage (ok, milage is low priority).
I'm not looking for the ultimate grip either, would prefer a tire with a nice controllable limit.
Also the PS4 received high praise in tests, for example won EVO's 2017 tire competition.

Is anyone running the cup 2’s as a regular dry weather road tyre (ie not on track)?
I'm also interested in this. My V8S has been on Corsas (on V12V) wheels since April and they've been superb. Admittedly it has been perfect Corsa weather for the 4 months since then and this will probably not be repeated in my lifetime! So when the Corsas are finished do I go with new Corsas, PS4S or PS Cup2? Important context is that I run winter tyres for 4 to 5 months a year so very cold/wet/ice performance is not an issue. I'm thinking I'll probably go PS4S but would be interested to hear from anyone running Cup 2s on their Vantage including the GT8 owners.Edited by V8V Pete on Wednesday 22 August 16:00
