Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S (MPS4) Tires ZP edition

Michelin has not announced a future production dates. The front tires are available now but not the rear set for the 458 (295mm). Sizes for the 488, which are supposed to be OEM for the 488, are now available at retailers. Looks like 458 owners will have a while to wait. Of course you can mount the slightly wider rear tires (305mm) on existing wheels but I wonder how that may affect performance with about 5mm wider on each side of the rim.

Anyone out there who has tried it? Care to comment?

 

Keep an eyeball on TireRack's site (tirerack.com). They get the latest pretty quickly. So far, no 4S ZPs are shown.

 

I put on 305's (MPS4 was not available yet) ... no problem at all !

Mel,

Thanks for the feedback. I'll need new tires soon. I may just try the new M4S in 305MM if the 295s are not available by then.

 

Why not in any case my friend ? Difference in price is almost nothing over here. (One dollar difference with MPS3K3)

Prices are for one, in Euro's; how are prices for MPS4 in USA ?

So the PS4S is not Ferrari specific yet, unlike the PSS (K3).
The PS4S is supposed to be a better tyre than the PSS but the PSS K3 has a Ferrari specified compound, so I am not sure how they actually compare.

 

Mel- Set of four 4S is $1441, of MPSS $1380, so virtually no difference in price.

I would probable prefer the plain 4S to the 4S ZP, but then I carry a compressor with me to make up for no spare. One that clips to the battery, not works through the console connector.
