M4tty1Hi have just ordered a set of Pilot super sports for my 987 cayman S. Currently fitted with its original continentals, looking at the date codes. Hope get them fitted in the coming week and will report back with how I find them.
BJ Innes Michelin do not make the PS4S in the N-rated version for 19" wheels. Currently the N-rated version is only available in 20" sizes. The tyre was primarily destined only for the 718 Boxster/Cayman at launch, but was delayed 12 months for further testing by Porsche and Michelin. The final N-rated result is an astonishingly capable road/track tyre for your Porsche. The sidewall construction of the N-rated version of the PS4S differs from the non-rated, insofar as the rim protection ridge is much more pronounced giving a "chunkier" look to the tyre. The sidewalls of the N-rated tyre are also stiffer and provide superb steering feel. My recent track test at Knockhill demonstrated a wet road performance as the best I have ever experienced of any tyre over 10 years of Porsche ownership. They are also quieter on the road than the Pirelli P-Zero N1. Michelin recommend the PS4S for drivers who use their performance car for 80% road touring, 20% track days. You will pay a premium in price for the Michelin PS4S, but the all-round performance of the tyre is well worth the extra. Best of luck with your choice. Brian
Tinners1983Thanks Ray, but no results there for PS4s on tyre reviews or mytyres. Ill check out out the other site though thanks. M
