Was thinking to do the same but I do wonder if the difference felt will be down as much to fresh tyres with full tread vs a few years old and only 3-4mm...anyway will be interesting to hear about it.
I thought you couldn’t get PS4S in the 18” sizes for a Spyder anymore in the UK
First impressions on the 5s, Brian?
The problem is the rears; the 265/35 r18 size is not available in PS4S. I went with 275/35 instead. I started another thread on the forum about this and got some good opinions that 275s would work fine, which they do. The fronts are 235/40 r18 which are available. ATS Euromaster in St. Albans did mine. I paid £712 in total including all the balancing/disposal/valves costs etc. that they stick on, which I thought was quite good. Also they actually inflated them to the pressures I asked for which not every garage does.

This I think is a new variant, S5, so maybe this is the 4S replacement (there was no S in the Pilot Sport 5 originally)The PS5 is the replacement for the PS4.
The new replacement for the PS4S is, rather confusingly, the PSS5:

I had PS4S on my Quattroporte Sport GTS which, while excellent tyres, I found a bit "soft". When Michelin launched the original Pilot Super Sport (PSS) and then the PS4S they were way ahead of their competitors but they have since caught up. I have put Bridgestone Potenza Sports on my Stradale which I think suit the hardcore nature of the car much better (stiffer sidewalls?) and are significantly cheaper.
