Pilot sport 4s - two versions?

Tire Rack has two versions of PP4S. One is cheaper. Does anyone know the difference?

Can you provide links to the two different PS4S tires you're seeing on tirerack?

There's a bunch of different versions and sub-versions of these. The ZPs are run-flats. There are ones for manufacturer-specific versions, like N0 for Porsche, AO for Audi, FP for Ford, etc.

Yeah, that's why I was asking for links to understand what OP i seeing. Not sure if they're looking at ZP (runflat) vs. regular or one of the car-specific versions (which there are more than 2 offerings of).

You want these. Not Star BMW or MO1 Mercedes or AO Audi or K3 Ferrari.

TPC or Star are specific versions that have blended tread compounds. The TPC have a blend of PS4S and Cup2 tread.

You MAY want the Star BMWs for the front as they're a more aggressive formula than regular PS4S that feel much better since they were tuned for the M cars instead of being a "regular" PS4S, we also have the 305 in the rears from the Audi R8 I believe but I'm not sure what changes Audi could have requested for the R8, a mid engine AWD supercar, but I doubt they would make the tire any worse.

Here's a video explaining it, I was going for the Star BMW for the front and Audi AO for the rears but the shipping times were too long and I skid on a very small puddle and ended getting on a curb so I needed new tires asap
