I had a set of the new N0 rated Michelin PS4S tyres fitted to my 718 Cayman S this week.
Compared to my previous Pirelli P-Zero N1's the profile is dramatically different. On my wider 20" rims, the P-Zero's seemed stretched, particularly on the rear wheels, even though the tyre section sizes and profile values are identical in both brands. The PS4S N0 tyres on the other hand, fill the rim width properly and give my car a more purposeful look.
Regarding comparative tyre performance, the public road is not the place to explore this, but so far I would say the PS4S N0 runs quieter on rural roads, and the steering response is sharper too. I'll have to wait until my next track day before I can report on the true performance of the new Michelins. I have the feeling I'll not be disappointed.
