      I read that these ps5s tires will be available in only OE sizes for manufacturers first then begin to phase into other sizes throughout the years. That the ps4s will still be the go to tire for the foreseeable future until the particular tire size gets phased out.

        That seems to be how Michelin always rolls out new tires.

          Exciting for sure. But according to the video, there’s an actual replacement for the PS4S in the works that is different than these PSS5? Slightly confusing lol

            Considering you can still buy the PS2 new, I'm assuming the PS4S will be with us for a very long time.

                  It seems like the grippier they make these newer "street" tires, the more rocks they kick up like a semi-slick track tire. Not sure that is a great feature to have when you reach a piece of road that is in poor condition or recently paved. I don't recall the PSS doing that as much.

                    I don't disagree.

                    Also the PS4S are already so damn capable, it's nearly impossible to safely find the limit on the street. I've thought about going to a tire with less dry grip so it dances a bit more. Or going down in size so there are smaller contact patches.

                      Smaller tires do drive better, so if grippier compounds like you get away with less size… win win?

                          This is the underrated side of running all seasons, let that a$$ hang out.. lol. So easy to do in my car.

                              VALID!

                              I grew up on Mustangs so not being able to hang the ass end out at will is a real bummer.
