is it because the bespoke model can’t do the performance package or something ? I read somewhere that the Michelins came with 21 inch rims and the performance package
I think all the ones in Canada are on Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I don’t recall seeing any bridgestone tires.
I am in Ontario and my 2022 bespoke coupe came with Bridgestone tires. Did not drive too much last summer but will probably use them this year and then swap out to something else.

no, i think it's more that the Pirelli's are so good. oem on 911's and some ferraris, these
dreamy - soft high performance tires nigh float on the road but, hopefully, last a little longer
than their reputed 20k life .... @ $500 ea ....

Don't know, I have 21 inch rims and was hoping for the Michelins but no luck. For the 2023 bespoke build they have a new option for $1145 that I would have added if it was available in 2022:
Bespoke Performance Option (Torsen Limited Slip Differential, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Scuff Plates, Rear Performance Damper, Michelin Tires - forged wheels only)

They should have made this car with more selectable options. At least give us the ability to pick and choose individual options a la Porsche. I guess Lexus doesn’t care, but it would go much further for creating brand loyalty if they would cater this car towards personalization

That being said, I don’t think ill replace these PSS with another set. I’d probably downgrade them to a regular set of PS 4s or something as I have no intention of ever driving this car that hard. Much rather get better wear and a softer ride so I can cruise more in comfort.

And even now, PS4S are considered "old", since PS5's are out. Still waiting for PS5S' to be released.

I thought pilot sport 4S is a summer tire, not all season?? I believe there is a pilot sport all season as well, but it is different than the 4S.

All-Seasons have an "A/S" moniker for Michelin. ie - Michelin Pilot A/S4.
