What do you choose now Guys
Michelin PS3 or PS5

I wasn't aware PS5s were available. The spec look the same, but being newer I would imagine (guessing) the PS5 is better?

Amazing!
PS5s will become the new default choice for most I imagine.
Much newer technical tyre design, so will likely out-perform the old PS3s; they also look amazing!

Good spot Nick, they literally must just be released in 16”
I agree with Stefan, the Pilot Sport 3 is a 15 odd year old design, so I’m sure compounds and tyre technology have moved on a lot in that time,
I have 5’s on my GTD and they are great
Good news for the older cars that run 16’s, I wonder if they will bring out a 15” option?
Will this mean they kill off the Pilot Sport 3

That's great news that they're offering the PS5 in the Trophy size.
I have PS4's on the 200 Cup and always rated it as an excellent tyre. That car will be going onto Michelin PS Cup 2's next though, strictly warm summer days only!!

I have a new set of 5s on my Abarth comp and they are a considerable leap forward from the MPS3

I bought some tyres (PS4S) for my Audi a little while back and afterwards was invited to an online video call with a Michelin representative to provide some feedback and thoughts on their products generally. One of my asks was for an update to the PS3 in a 16" for the Clio. Pleased that they have now decided to go ahead with the PS5 
Good Lord, this is tremendous. Also an 87W XL.
It's not even a question now, these will be the go-to.

Back in stock and £27 cheaper a pop vs. PS3.
Camskill. They seem to come and go in terms of stock.
The site said two were available but it let me order four. I had to email back and forth a bit with one of their sales people but they managed to find another two.
I think they were about £110 each.
They look amazing! But the car isn't quite ready for them yet.

James, any chance of a few pics to see what one of the 16” ps5 looks like out of the bag
, Interested to know what the side wall and thread profile looks like in 16” vs the ps3
