Michelin Pilot Sport 5s vs Dunlop Direzza

[akiraproject24]

Wondering if anyone here running the Pilot Sport 5s?

I've been on a set of Dunlop Direzza for a few years now. Still have some.life left but they are aging (I put like 2k miles a yr)

Curious how the Michelins do grip wise? I am tuned with a whoosh hybrid, can easily break the direzzas free in second. Looks like the Michelin are a 340 whereas the direzza are 200.

I don't see Direzza available in 215/40/17 anymore but the Michelin I see in 205/40/17 and thinking they may be a great choice when I replace. I have 7.5" wide wheels, hoping the 205 will sit OK on those

The Direzza Z3 was a 200TW tire. The PS5 is a Max Performance category tire, not as high. If you had the old DZ102 the PS5 might be better. Hard to say because the Direzzas are discontinued so they've never been compared to the PS5.
