I think they come on the new Gen 2 Quad with those staggered wheels as OEM spec.

I assume that means we’ll be able to purchase by next year. I’ll be getting also.

Only equipped on Ascend models (Tai/Quad).

Michelin says Pilot S5 (its also rebranding from 5S, if they follow the 4, then 4S convention) are only available as OE equipment for now, until the supply can catchup.

I am hoping either this or Pilot Sport AS 5 becomes available in 275/50/22 V115, as I would replace my R1S Scorpion Zero tires in a heart beat.

You can have those ones, I want these on all four corners.

Since I obviously don't know what the difference is, what makes these better?

Hopefully the Discount Tire sponsor on this site can tell us when these are available.

Those are straight up summer performance tires rather than all season. I live in Phoenix, so I can run summer tires pretty well year round with no issues.

I know, I have them on my other car. This would be a summer tire for me.

Discount is no longer supporting this forum; they have this really robust customer service phone number to call now!! ?

I think when my stock 22's run out, I'll get some dedicated 20's with winter tires and put these on for summer. Max grip for the season for safety (and other fun). I can hardly wait.

This won't make it past 10k miles. Expect excellent performance but very low life.

S4s lasted 25k on my Audi. They are soft but have a great ride and handle well.

I would have gotten these, but how quickly I'd burn them up is why I went with the tri instead of waiting for the quad. I can get the same tires I'm currently running on my R1T, the Michelin 10-ply 119's.

I have the Pilot Sport 4S on my 2021 Audi RS7 and I love them. I am at 16k miles with them and they are 40-50 percent worn. They ride and handle amazing I got more than 30k on 2 sets for my previous Audi A7 with the 20s. Tirerack says Michelin will be planning to release more sizes next spring for the new Pilot Sport S 5 tires.
