Terms of publication and processing of reviewsPilot Sport 5 vs PS4 n PS4S
I wore out a couple of PS4 tyres on the front of my MB w205 C43 saloon, the PS4S were more expensive than the new PS5 and after reading could things about the PS5 I bought them, on driving it feels the same as before. However on looks there is a big change, itās of all a much less rim protection lip on the PS5 š³š¤, compared to my PS4 that I removed, and still have at the rear so can visibly see the difference. (Maybe there could be another version of the PS5 with a better rim protector) Also then applying tyre dressing via my wee curved sponge the side wall has a new effect which doesnāt clean up as nice as my PS4 does. Itās a pity that Michelin have changed the design on these two things with the new PS5, over what was great on the PS4 and PS4S.

Terms of publication and processing of reviewsCannot fault Pilot Sport 5ās
These have had time to bed in now and Iāve put a couple of thousand miles on them. Great grip wet and dry and noticeably less aquaplaning than my previous set of Goodyears. They appear to be wearing very slowly, hard to tell for real as Iāve only done a couple of thousand miles but so far I cannot fault them.

Had two rear tyres fitted to my Mercedes E 350 CDI grips well in the wet and dry conditions and are much quieter than the Pirelli P0ās they replaced. I shall be fitting them to the front as soon as they need replacement.
