Pilot Sport 4s or Pilot Sport 5?

[GTIreland]

I switched from Michelin PS5 to Pirelli PZ5 and they are better in every way.

Surprised by this seeing that I wouldn't buy anything but Michelin for years.

If you are quick

Yes I did see that offer, unfortunately Black Circle is not one of the participating dealers.

I guess that's because they are already discounted? I'm sure I saw somewhere that Black Circle is owned by Michelin, may be mistaken?

Oooh, curveball.
What swayed you that way and where do the PZ5’s score best in your opinion?

Quick Google and you are correct.

This article did the swaying https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre-Tests/Best-Performance-Summer-Tyres-For-2025.htm

I found them quieter, more compliant and confidence inspiring in the twisties.

They honestly feel like a more advanced 4 or 4S before Michelin decided to make the 5 out of concrete to increase longevity and particle emissions.

Thanks GTIreland, it’s always great to read real owners reviews and informed opinions 
Jonathan from tyrereviews’ vids pop up on my YouTube algorithm, and seeing him use a Golf GTI often for testing lends extra relevance, but actually sitting reading the review is actually far more informative and less fast paced so thanks for posting the link too 👍🏻
