not sure if there are different distributors around for Michelin (PS4):

 

when i was getting quotes from a few shops, they all called their distributor and the last shop i approached told me that the distributor said he kept getting calls for my size [laugh]

 

so if there's only 1 distributor, then price retail shop quotes depends on how much profit the shop wants to make (assuming the distributor gives all the shops the same price).

Only one main importer for agent tires. For parallel I think there should be more than 1. But for odd sizes usually only agent brings in.

 

What was your size? 235/50/17?

Just to share.

Recently I messaged Michelin through facebook to enquire about the difference between PS4 and PS4st. I received this reply.

 

The difference between the two tyres are:

 

Pilot sports 4

- Steering Control and Reactivity

- Safety and handling in the wet

- Distinctive velvet sidewall

 

Pilot sports 4st

- 1st in dry laptime

- 1st in dry braking

- 1st in wet braking

- 9% better threadlife than the Michelin pilot super sport

 

I don't know how to choose if I am deciding between the 2. Btw I used to have PS4 (spain).

Did you mean PS4S instead of PS4st?

Good question. I quickly went to check again.

I think maybe the person read wrongly. I will ask him or her to verify.

 

"Commissioned third-party track tests in Germany against five top ultra-high-performance tire competitors ranked the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S first in the following areas:

 first in dry braking

 first in wet braking

 first in dry lap times"

Thanks. Cos my PS4 is made in Thailand (AD stock) and it's got the ST marking.
