Default PSI in Goodyear vs Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

The other thread got me thinking and I thought I'd pose a quick question:

I have the Goodyears, and a few months back the fronts were inflated by the dealer up to about 40 PSI. That caused the dash to intermittently make a squeaky sound. That resolved when I deflated to my preferred 32-33 psi

I'm now interested in swapping in the Michelins. Question is, do the amount of PSI on those tires translate similarly to the Goodyears? I just want to make sure I should deflate the Michelins to the same level (32 PSI fronts) so that I continue to have a nice and quiet ride.

Thanks to any tire experts.

You should be good at around the same PSI. In summer I run 30 front, 32 rear (when cold). In colder weather to give myself some room I do 32/34. But they will run similar PSI for both in comfort setting.

Would be very happy to hear your experience with the Michelins 4S comparing them to Goodyears.

Yes you should be fine with same pressure listed in the owners manual. I run comfort setting of 29/32. 40psi the dealer set would be miserable.

Is Michelin PS4S available in 992 sizes now? If so that's great.
