Default MPSS is Dead. Welcome PS4S...

A better tire than the MPSS? Better wear and better grip.

Nice!! Kudos for Michelin surpassing the PSS with these

Will mean that the PSS tires starting next Spring/Summer when they go on sale will be easier to find and not on backorder anymore!? And possibly cheaper than their replacements???

" According to Michelin, the upcoming PS4S expands the envelope of performance even further with better wet and dry braking, better lap times, and even better wear; an independent testing lab has estimated the PS4S’s life at greater than 30,000 miles. "

Yes!!

You got to wonder how long Michelin will keep making the PSS after full production of the new PS4S goes into effect?? Will this be a gradual tapering off, then they'll stop making them after a couple years??
