Appears to be an update of the Pilot Sport 4 but not the Pilot Sport 4S, see here: https://www.michelin.com/en/press-re...imacy-4-tires/
The Pilot Sport 4 and this new 5 are high performance summer tyres while the 4S is an Ultra High Performance summer tyre, so effectively one class higher.
Let's wait and see if or when a 5S comes out.

'Improved' to last longer? That's good...apparently, in the tests they ran, PS5 tires lasted almost double tread-life of Pirellis.
I'd like to see roadholding and braking results. on the same car, too.

Longevity test run in average real usage (D50) with 11568 km run and extrapolated longevity at 1.6mmResults may vary
according to road and weather conditions.

Since my '22 F-Type R is very new to me...1500 miles on the clock...I have no experience with any other tire than the Pirellis that were mounted when I took delivery. In my area, a number of roads are "treated" with a "tar and gravel" medium which resurfaces and prolongs the life of the asphalt surface. I have noticed that the P-Zeros are very "sticky" and kick-up thousands of pieces of gravel into my wheel wells as I drive. Do the Michelins produce the same effect?
