@rtan How do you like the S-04's, any comparison vs a particular type of Michelin Pilot?
The S-04 are pretty good. Very responsive in the dry but they are a bit noisier even though I’m down to 18”. But being 35series probably contributed to the nvh. I had 19” Conti DWS-06 which were actually decent all year round. But the staggered configuration and the lack of ability to rotate them, wore out the rear tires quickly.
It’s been a few years since I had my Porsche 997S that had the Michelin PS-4S tires but I can definitely say the PS-4S has a better ride quality. It felt softer and much quieter than the S-04. But I can’t comment much on handling since the two tires were on different cars…

They replaced Conti DWs which I absolutely hated. I'm running PS4S on my LC and luv those also. But, if the S-04s were available in the 21" sizes my LC takes, I would be riding on Bridgestones.
Lou, I tried to get the S-04 again @sickpuppy but of course they are now discontinued.. And since I was ready to get back into a full summer performance tire I avoided the Conti DWS after getting them twice..
Looking forward to fun weekend drives with the Yokohama Advan Apex V601
I was running the S-04's prior to my new wheel set up. Loved those tires in dry and wet conditions, but they did get a bit noisy when the tire was starting to wear down.
Finally got my Arkym diffuser installed. Had to do some cutting just to get it to fit around my RR tips
