My M4 came with Conti 5P which is the equivalent of the MPSS.
Basically my understanding is that Continental Sport Contact * is the equivalent of the Michelin Pilot Sport.
And the Sport Contact 5
P variant is the equivalent Pilot Super Sport, or with the new nomenclature from Michelin the Pilot Sport *S
So from that standpoint, I think that the names just got more consistent across these 2 brands.
In any case, I don't mind the Contis 5P. I just finished my run-in period and they seem to be fine. There are traction problems for sure, but there's a lot of power and torque so I was kind of expecting that.
My biggest problem with both the MPSS and the Contis is the damn tire noise.
