I went from PSS to PS5 a week ago on my 2019 2.0 Mazda MX5. I couldn't get PSS because they are out of stock, but I had to replace them, because they were completely bald on the outer edges (fast cornering). PS5 tires grip well, but they feel floaty in corners compared to PSS. They don't have the sharp response like PSS do. Edit: I drive mostly on dry sunny Adriatic roads :)

I fitted these to my 128ti and the difference was massive! The "old" tyres were Pirelli P Zeros and came with the car when new in October 2022. And they were shocking. The Michelins brought improvements in grip but also in terms of ride comfort - far less crashy and much more supple.

It is hard to push most tyres so hard to rank them on the street. Most ultra high performance tyres have similar performance. Sometimes slightly better in the wet or the dry, or better steering feel. The PS5 aren't designed to significantly outperform the PS4 dynamic performance, but they are designed to improve tyre life though. Considering how good the PS4 tyres are that isn't such a bad thing.

I had Michelin PS5 on all corners of my Toyota Supra Mk5 and noticed that at 20k miles awful noise from the wheels ... when taking it to a garage they showed me that all four tyres had worn unevenly on the inside edges .. the tyres were essentially no longer round ... it was noticed that all four tyres has worn differently on the wear indicator areas ( 3 dot blocks) ... FYI .. alignment was spot on and car never driven hard or tracked. 20K is good for a set of tyres but with 5mm left it did mean that i still had to change them prematurely.

I bought the michelin pilot sport 4s, anyone I know and see talking about it said its the best tyre for your daily car. The cup 2 is even better but I don't do any tracks so its a waste of money .

[@JJ-mc8lu]

I found these tyres extremely noisy and only got worse as they got worn with a strange thrumming noise. Dry they were good but wet unfortunately not as good. They do wear better than the Pilot Sport 4 but got rid of them at 50% tread and got some Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 6 and they are definitely superior everywhere and bonus of softer riding and quieter. Very happy now.

I had factory fitted PSS* on my M240i which were bonkers in the dry but had to change as they hate cold temps! I was deciding between GY A6 and MPS5. I went for the MPS5s as one of "Mr Benson's" videos mentioned aquaplaning which I have experienced and was keen to avoid. In short, TO ME, the MPS5 felt quite a bit of a touring tyre compared to the MPSS. It was a great tyre re: grip and cold/wet but so much understeer and not very quiet and didn't feel "sporty". I put on GY A6s now and it's night & day - much quieter, more "sporty" feel and great sidewall protection- something the MPS5 lacks, as I found out last summer on a trip across to Bratislava and back. Just my "2 penneth", as I see most here drive the m14oi. Informative video. Thanks🎉👍

If you’re planning doing a few track days with your M240i, I would rather run the GoodYear Eagle F1 Supersport. They wear better and are much more suited to track driving. The PS5’s will work on track, but I would go for the Goodyears in your case.

Very nice interesting video Reg! Just food for thought, I have still a bit more than a year of BMW warranty so I will need to stick to my current MPSS *. I like the MPSS but it's an old tyre(introduced in 2011, with tyre knowledge the years before), I know from Jonathan Benson YT and a relative who works in the tyre industry that specially developed tyres such as * or ND Porsche tyres are completely different tyres than their non-marked variants, they are also developed on even more parameters. I recently saw that the fronts are available in MPS4 in * as well as in ND0, so I'm curious to try the * ones. I'm also curious to know the Traction, Temperature and Wear numbers and compare with the PS5's. No doubt the PS5's are good, I had PS4's on another car and it felt like driving on rails, especially in the wet. I heard the PS5 don't have super stiff sidewalls and they steer very light.. keep up the good work! Cheers!

[@mshackleton1]

As long as your tyres meet the specs on the door plate, you shouldn't have any issues with warranty. The PS5 should easily meet that.

[@davidkemp6721]

The ps5 is not a performance tyre like pss or ps4s.

[@roadreg1820]

It gets pretty close.

[@sebastiancatalan1376]

Its true, but because the PSS is discontinued and the PS4S is not available in many countries in 18" (like mine, PS4S is 19" upwards) the PS5 is the only choice if you want to have a Michelin in your PSS equipped car. My brother had to do just that in his M140i. The good thing of the PS5 is that in the dry you do not lose much compared with the PSS, but you gain a lot of traction in wet conditions

[@roadreg1820]

[@coenwag]

Reg, I have these tyres now fitted for 2500km. Starting with the negatives, they are completely different in steering feel compared to MPSS. Very light steering almost too light I’d say, it almost felt like my car was jacked up when I drove the first meters from the tyre shop. But also came from worn down 3mm MPSS, hopefully the steering weights up a bit more and they wear. You have to get used to this first when starting to push the car. They are also quite comfortable, ridges are nicely absorbed and feel they are more polished out. Positives, loads of grip, I thing on the road with daily driving it’s very hard to push to the limit of these. Putting power down is going easily with stock power & LSD. I can floor it in the wet without DSC intervening. Car feels like on rails in the wet, strong braking as well. They look neat as well. Next time I might go for PS4 * codes ones or ND0 Porsche spec ones hopefully they have better steering feel. Cheers!

Get them - I went from the PSS to PS4 and now on PS5 on my 2017 M140i. For daily driving with some open road touring and maybe the occasional track day, they work beautifully. The original PSS used to set off DSC all the time in the wet. The PS4 and now the PS5, you have to be really be lighting it up to break traction.

[@sebastiancatalan1376]

I second that. My brother replaced the PSS on his M140i after 67000 kms and still tread left on the tire with the PS5, because of the time that passed since manufacturing. I drove the car on dry roads and i didnt feel any difference (except a little bit more traction at the starts), but he says the traction control intervention is greatly reduced, and in the wet the difference is abysmal, the PS5 is a much better tire (the low point of the PSS is wet driving, the car is barely drivable at best with that tire and even dangerous at times).
