Pilot Sport vs 4S?
Anyone have real world experience with these two models?
4s is newer...guessing it is better in “winter” than the last model? Dry performance? Wet performance? |

wear and grip in both dry and wet are probably the best in it's catagory right now. Do not use any summer tires in temps below 7C, you'll wear it about 50% faster, and about twice as much 0C and below, you'll also crack the compound as well.

The hardening which leads to the cracking and wear also means the tires won't grip the road very well. I experienced this first hand at road-legal speeds under normal conditions with PSS's in low-30's (F). In the dry it would give you a few hints grip was not idea, but it was really noticeable in the wet. |

I've had both the MPSS and MP4S on my M3. The SS is being phased out and the 4S is the successor. Which also means that the SS is slightly cheaper in price, so that is something to take into consideration as well.

I figured it might make sense to put the newer model on the car but I'm not sure if mixing tires would cause tread related issues...or if the treads are damn near identical. |
