As above,

I can't comment on longevity as I haven't had the Michelins on long enough yet but they feel much more planted. Some of that may be going from old to new rubber but impressed so far.

I've done 30,000km on the michelins - almost at the end of their life

A lot of highway miles for work but also some serious hard driving. Very happy with how long they gave lasted

Got P Zeros on the new car - expect about half as many kms from them

What's the collective wisdom on manufacturer homologation for the PS4S? Aston only seems to 'approve' PZeros, so if going down the PS4S route is there a particular variant of this tyre which suits Aston's better? I understand sidewall stiffness and compound apparently varies.

Seems difficult to get PS4S tyres for the rear of a DB9 (275/35 19")

Have Michelin stopped making them or something? searches are coming up with PS4 (blackcircles) or quoting PSS or PS2's instead?

I have p zeros, and everything I have read suggests the michelin is better for grip/performance so a little surprised they would last twice as long as the pirellis.. is that really the case, happy days if so.
