Tyres help

[Brooner]

Guys I am looking to put fresh summer rubber on my car
First choice was Michelin pilot 4s but can't find a set anywhere on enquiry all I can get is mercedes MO in PS4s
I have looked at Goodyear F1 asymmetric 5 but there run flat not a fan
Brigstone do a new potenza sport but they seem to fall short of the Michelin's
So my question is what's the downside to using MO tyres

Someone with the converse problem here: https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/threads/mo- ... es.189465/
Consensus seems to be that it's largely irrelevant (MO marking).

I just got a new set of 4 * PS4S's this morning. I was not told about any shortage.
Infact there is a £100 cash back from Michelin if you buy from a participating dealer, mine was.

Where did you get your MPS4s from I have looked over the net and every place I phoned had no stock or access to any
I tried Costco but they had no stock or availablty

[RS Owner]

I went to my local tyre warehouse Micheldever Tyres near Winchester, they are now part of the Protyre chain.

[Brooner]

Are your MPS4s the non manufacturer specific
Not Mercedes MO tyres

[RS Owner]

They are the non manufacturer specific but they are 19". If your looking for 20" then I THINK they will be "Especially suited for Mercedes"

Ok cheers yes having a problem getting them in 275 30 20
Now looking at Conti 7s class winner on trye reviews website

Mine is on PZeros in that size - cant say I test them to the limit, but they are wearing OK (well apart from the two on the back that Audi paid to replace after the alignment was out after a recall on back axle...)

And they have a great rim protector!

[Brooner]

Most of the folks on here will tell you that the PZeros a about the worst tyre you can fit to the RS4
You will notice a vast improvement in grip handling and wear moving to Michelin / Continental/ Goodyear
Having had PZeros on my previous RS4s

[Isleaiw]

They might but at 75mph on the M1, they all do a job, and that is about all it gets used for these days...
And they are brand new on rear, less than half worn on front so they will outlive my ownership I would imagine....

I have gone for Continental Sports contact 7 and getting MPS4s was impossible unless I took the MO Mercedes fittment
I Get them fitted this week will post my thoughts on them after I've done a few miles

[RS Owner]

Just an after thought. One possible reason for the lack of availability of PS4S in 20" is that we now have the PS5.

[Brooner]

But from what I read the PS5 is not a replacement for the PS4s
Taken from Tyre reviews

Michelin Pilot Sport 5Michelin has just launched the new Michelin Pilot Sport 5, and it looks to be a very interesting, but perhaps not what we expected, update!

First up, some general information to clear up some confusion online. This tyre is not a replacement for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 AND 4S. The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 (PS5) directly replaces the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 (PS4), and while there's been no official announcement about the replacement of the Pilot Sport 4 S (PS4S), it is likely this will be replaced at some point in the future.
