FL5 Custom Engineered Michelin PS 4S

[dohdje]

I just found out Michelin works with manufacturers to custom spec the Pilot Sport 4S. The exact variant developed with Honda for the FL5 Type R is: Pilot Sport 4S DT1 (for different tread 1). Your Discount Tire or Tire Rank replacement may be a generic PS4S not optimized for FWD FL5.

So, if you want the tire developed to optimize the performance and handling of your front wheel drive Type R Get the PS4S DT1 variant. I found the marking on my tire by the manufacturing date code (4625 in the photo)

The walls look different as well. I bought 1 at tire rack and had it mounted and looked different.

The trick is buying from Honda to get the best pricing which hopefully is still a thing. I'm sure you get the DT1 when you get the factory part number.
