Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

I'm loving these new tyres now the weather has warmed up a bit, loads of grip once they get up to temperature.

Good aren’t they.  Best tyres I’ve ever had on a car by far.

Absolute no brainer not to get these on 19s! On 18s the PS4 are miles better than the S001s that are OEM too!

I agree. Just 2 days and a hundred km's with them yet but yesterday had the chance to go for a good drive already. It was too sunny to push the car around those semi-blind bends (as cyclists and bikers would/could show up at any point) so their corner grip will be fully evaluated on track in a couple of weeks, but what really amazed me is their braking. They are really in a different league than the S001 in that department. I also managed to put the entire of 3rd gear down (before I would happily spin there too if i tried) and most of 2nd (still some wheel-spin there depending on tarmac and dynamics) so hopefully they are going to be even better when they are fully worn in. @OP: how do you find yours traction wise?

Another very impressive feature is how comfortable they are: I could not believe I went up from 225/40/18 to 235/35/19 and the car feels exactly the same ride wise. The S001 has a really stiff sidewall in comparison which probably gives a more direct and sharp turn in but takes its toll on comfort. I will happily do that trade off. Now just looking for excuses to drive the car and I can't find enough of them.

Much better that the P-Zero's that they replaced, I couldn't get all the power down in second at all, bare in mind I'm REVO stage 1 and they limit boost in the first two gears. In third I could still spin the wheels with the Pirelli's all the time in the dry but with the PS4S's when up to temperature they just grip and go, and stop and corner very very well...

I found them way better than P-Zero's too. Mine went on in early December and they gripped way better through winter than the P-Zeros ever did, even during summer. You can trust them to grip on pulling away which I couldn't do before and mine is stock.

These two comments have me sold on these tyres. I’m that fed up of spinning in second I have been considering making the switch to the R earlier than planned.

They aren't cheap but even I didn't mind that extra stretch deep into the world of my rare moth collection (wallet...). I got them on Blackcircles when there was £40 off for 4 and 6 months 0% (I had the money but it would've been rude to turn them down ). So all in about £40 a corner more than Pirellis. Money well spent.

Edit - just checked Blackcircles and unless I'd made a mistake, they are at £172 each fitted with £40 off for 4. Only £16 each more than Pirellis, bargain!

The secret is the temp...once warmed up properly, they will stick like sh1t to a blanket!

0-60 in 5.0" tonight, on the first run without even revving over 3K as I was used to lots of spin with the Potenzas, lol, these tires do grip...
