Not overly fair comparing worn out MSS to new PS4S's. Also, wider new tyres. Still, I would consider PS4S's over current MSS.

100% It's lame comparing brand new tyres with worn ones (and they did look absolutely fooked), the new ones are always going to be optimum. Also, MPSS are known for not being quite as good in the wet/cold, but are better in warm/dry. Also, the review would hold more weight if both tyres were not only brand new, but also the same width ! Wider tyres are going to be grippier, it's not rocket science.

Put PS4S on my '18 Golf R (Stage 1 APR, Bilstien B16 suspension), did not like them for this car and for the intended purpose. Sent them back to Tire Rack in exchange for PSS which were still in stock, much happier. PS4S do have great grip, great wet performance and quiet, smooth ride. BUT they were squirmy, less immediate during turn-in, and permitted excessive body motion when braking during sweeping turns. PSS much more precise feeling, firmer sidewalls, better feedback. Cannot speak to acceleration traction, since I'm AWD. Overall, to me the PS4S feel more like a "sporty luxury" tire with great grip rather than an all-out sports tire.

Thank you for this review. Since both tires are wider and the same 35 series, there will be a SLIGHT (very slight) difference in outside diameter which will affect your speedometer (in this case read just a tiny bit slower). Worn tires will make your speedometer read faster, so take this with a grain of salt. I consider this when shopping for different size tires, but I'm moving from 255 to 295 wide tires, so I had to move from a 40 series to a 35 series to keep the same outside diameter. Different brands also measure different outside diameters for the same tire size. These are things that I care about, but I'm pretty picky. I had Pilot SS tires on my Acura TL AWD and loved them. They stuck like glue and wore like iron. As other here have mentioned they were okay, but not great, in wet conditions. They did, however, made me a true believer in Michelin. I'm in the process of buying a 2013 Corvette Z06 with only 7K miles on it, but still has the original tires. These WILL need to be replaced even though they still look like new. I'll be going with the Pilot Sport 4S since the Pilot SS is not available in the sizes I need.

Did you realise when you went up a width that the profile (side wall depth) also increased, making the Spedo slightly out of calibration and increased the circumference. This will also affect the handling. Normally if you go up a width you must go down a profile to compensate.

Iv made exactly the same change on my own m2c. Only thing I would add is when its a warm day and your working the car hard on lanes or roads you know well, the ps4s do seem to just take a split second to settle into faster corners than an mpss. They dont quite have as connected feel at their optimum. However, those days are rare, and as you demonstrated 99% of the time the 4s is the more capable tyre. I also find in colder conditions running an extra 1-2 psi compared to mpss helps with some of that vagueness.

Just found your channel and great content on the M2Comp! I got an M2C late last year after a Porsche 997.1 C2S and I was really surprised about the difference (i.e. lack of grip) between the 2 cars - admitted, the Porsche had 295’s and a big engine pushing down on the rear tyres. I’m seriously considering upgrading to the PS4’s and also doing what you’ve done with upsizing to 255’s and 275’s. One question (living in Central London), do the wider tyres also mean less chance of kerbing the alloys??

So by getting wider tyres being on a different road (not covered in a thin layer of oil like a main road) and at the limit of old tyres tread, this is no way a fair comparison. From tyre tests I've seen the PS4s are better in the wet by around 1 second a lap.
