Thank you, unfortunately kerbed one alloy about 2 weeks (if even) after the refurb, first time in 4 years! But it is what it is, definitely a big change from the 18in belvederes but the pilot sport 5's drive great with amazing grip, even saw 43mpg on the work commute.

Can't fairly comment, Pilot Sport 5's 235/35R19 on a 8.5J wide rim, Pilot Sport 4S's 225/35R19 on Brescias a 7.5J rim. Personally I found the 4S more comfortable with better grip, but I do acknowledge that its not a fair comparison.

Not a direct comparison either, but my current BMW M140i came with PS-4.

I found them pretty dire in the cold and damp. I have since fitted Goodyear Assymetric 6 which are a revelation in comparison. Much better grip, less noise and more comfort.

It is also worth noting that on most reviews the Goodyear scores better than the PS-5 and they are cheaper.

Did you get your Michelin cash back? - I got £50 on mine.

When you buy tyres on online from the likes of Blackcircles the price includes the £100 cash back.

In that case I’ve bagged a bargain, I paid £547 fitted, less the £50 nets out at £497.00.
