ZeppoJeff Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Seems the beloved Michelin pilot super sport is getting discontinued and the Michelin pilot sport 4 s is taking its place http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/Michelin-Pilot-Sport-4-S-Press-Release.htm Quote
Ekona Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Old news, still a stupid name. So many people are going to end up with regular 4s thinking theure 4seses. Quote
SHEZZA Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Looking at michelin's website only the 4s are available for the Rays, at the moment anyway ? Quote
Ekona Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 The 4s (as opposed to the 4S) are available in 18", 4S only in 19" & 20" I believe. It may change, but I doubt it. Quote
monkeybrain1234 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Has any put the New MPS4 on? How do they compare to the MPSS? Quote
Ebized Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Yes, old news - this link helps the understanding: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/Michelin-Pilot-Sport-4-Press-Release.htm Quote
coldel Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Seems the beloved Michelin pilot super sport is getting discontinued and the Michelin pilot sport 4 s is taking its place http://www.tyrerevie...ess-Release.htm The diagrams on that site are utterly shocking, should be sued for misleading consumers Quote
Ekona Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Dreadful, aren't they? Has any put the New MPS4 on? How do they compare to the MPSS? My MPSS are down to 3mm on mine now, so need changing. Not sure whether to try the MPS4s just for sh*ts and giggles, or go straight to 888Rs. Quote
Ekona Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 I'm tempted but only because I do want to try the 4s. I have no issue running trackday rubber all year round, it's only a fun car after all. 1 Quote

I can't see how you have a choice, who will we turn to for an MPS4 opinion if you've not tried them? 1 Quote

Ebized Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Don't worry he will have to try them as he needs to keep his commission from Michelin for being their salesman on here. Quote
davey_83 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Odd that the mk3 Focus RS doesn't have these from factory..... Quote
The G Man Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) You sure? http://www.tyrepress.com/2016/01/2016-ford-focus-rs-fitted-with-michelin-tyres/ Ok not MPS4S, but a decent tyre nonetheless;). Plus the RS Mk3 came a bit early for the MPS4S release Edited January 17, 2017 by The G Man Quote
andy james Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Just to complicate things further I need to replace both sets of tyres on my wheels soon. Rays for sprinting which I think r888r would be the best bet and my 19 roadies which are shod with MPSS and have surpassed all expectations of grip in all conditions. Do I replace them with MPS4 or go for Cup2s? Advice Dan! Lol. Quote

Ekona Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 If you've got the cash, then Cup2s all the way. They're much more wet weather friendly now than the original Cups used to be, the GT3/RS/Speciale guys are more than happy with them in all conditions. 1 Quote
