Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 (PSS5) tire launch

///MPhatic · 03-28-2023, 12:27 PM

I suspect the PSSSSSSS5 will be a PS4S with better turn-in, which will piss off pretty much anyone that actually researches tires instead of just buying what they are told to buy.

I know the soft-touch premium sidewall is already pissing me off, but it is what it is. I'll end up with the AD09 anyway.

And OE only? Too bad the new M's tires are a different size, no PSSSSSSSSS5 star spec for us. Maybe that was by design...

antzcrashing · 03-28-2023, 12:42 PM

Will this be a performance tire on M cars? If so which?

cfm56d7b · 03-28-2023, 12:47 PM

Another great tire to consider. Better brakes and tires are always welcome.

yousefnjr · 03-28-2023, 12:51 PM

Well I guess they can’t call it the Pilot Ultra Super Sport

Ravenseal · 03-28-2023, 01:24 PM

Just in time for my G87 M2 to show up with Pilot Sport 4S. Lol.

Mavus · 03-28-2023, 02:53 PM

Maybe they asked Elon to help with model naming

Man, they can't get their naming convention straight lmao. Hyped for the Michelin Pilot 6 S Super Sport (P6SSS) in 2030.

And, according to that video, there'll be a short term replacement for the PS4S for the public because the PSS5s will be OE only for awhile? Huh???

Michelin with money to burn, paying some big name consulting Firm to come up with these ridiculous names.

They're just making it more like a Cup 2 so if you want an improvement in dry performance, just get a set of Cup 2 or Cup 2Rs.

The biggest improvement should be in the wet to compete with the Continental Sport Contact 7 (which still don't seem to be available in the US outside of some OE size).

Been anxious to try Continentals but timing is always off and hard to get any SportContacts. The DWS are easily or readily available but never the SportContacts.

I just got a set of the new continentals lol

I get tongued tied mixing up the tire name and making it sound like I’ve got PlayStation 4s on my car when I’m talking about the most awesome tires on the market.

Hxngs · 03-28-2023, 06:49 PM

I got new front 4s’ but maybe I’ll wait for the rears

I'd go with Pilot Super Sportish and Pilot Super Sporty for the PS5 and PSS5

drexplode · 03-28-2023, 07:53 PM

Michelin Man keep making the best tires! @bmw please continue to use the best tires. You know most of us hate run flat tires ;-)

harunaspeedstar · 03-28-2023, 08:10 PM

Michelin PlayStation 5’s

Pilot Ultra Super Sport in Y speed rating would be very popular.

Don't feel too bad. New Supra owners are still taking delivery of cars with MPSS tires.

6SPDG82 · 03-29-2023, 08:22 AM

Michelin Pilot SDS (Super Duper Sport!)

Mako · 03-29-2023, 09:10 AM

Sony might sue 😂

So these will probably be $450 now, Almost same cost as a PS5

bholler · 03-29-2023, 09:56 AM

Time to go out and burn some rubber so I can upgrade

SYT_Shadow · 03-29-2023, 12:08 PM

with how wonderful the PS4s have been, I look forward to the next version!
