That said, it seems the S4S is a winner. I especially like the added life compared to e.g. Conti.

Too bad Michelin failed to share numbers with known Michelin weakness to SC6, such as wet and dry grip (obvious by their omission).
Michelin Braking numbers show 0.8 meter Better with MPS4S compared to SC6, despite graphs showing about 33% more braking length for those who don't drill down on numbers. Will be interesting to see what the Independent Numbers are.
As SC6 are running 20% cheaper to MPS4S the longer life is negated, imo. SC6 rated at 240 and Michelin at 300....or 20% difference.
And if you are tracking car, both tires are wrong, however interesting that the record set recently on Nuburing for front wheel drive cars used SC6 and not MPS4S. That's more impressive to me than 2600m track and MPS4S winning (according to Michelin numbers) by 0.40 seconds.
