Cool Michelin Pilot Sport 5

Michelin has released the new PS5 not to be confused with the chip shortage one!

It will be interesting to see how it does in the reviews this year as the PS4 has been very good for a number of years.

Shame no options smaller than 17". Hopefully more options coming in the future but probably not. It's already really annoying the 4S isn't available in sizes under 18". Not everybody wants to run smears of rubber for tyres.

I also find the GY Super sports great indeed but I'd have preferred the PS4S if they were available in 245/40/18 in Europe.

I haven't tried the F1s but the GY Super sports have stiff sidewalls and provide super crisp steering response.

What do you mean?
Last time I wrote to Michelin, their response was that they weren't planning to release the PS4S in 245/40/18 in the European market. why since they are available in this dimension in USA and Asia.
