Installed the PS 4S last fall before I put the car away. As good as the PSS oems and definitely better in the lower temps. The PSS were great tires, but anything below 10c and they were struggling for grip if you pushed the throttle. The PS 4S supposedly have an (outer?!?) tread that has a more flexible compound that is dedicated to grip in lower temps. From experience it works. Much better grip in colder temps (3-4c). On the few warm days last fall that I drove on them, they were as good as the PSS, which they are supposed to replace.

Developed originally for Porsche 24 hours Le Mans Racing.
"The asymmetric tread pattern of the Pilot Sport 4S features side-by-side, 24 Hours of Le Mans-derived compounds. The low-void outer shoulder utilizes a new dry-focused hybrid tread rubber for improved dry handling and braking over the previous generation tire, while the center ribs and inboard shoulder feature a silica-infused wet compound designed to increase wet braking performance."
