Both of those are older designs that are still excellent tires. They were the go to choices for street only tires in max performance category for many years. They are both a bargain now.

Either one will be an ideal choice for your stated needs. They will not be noisy, they will last a long time, they will easily handle any rain you might encounter, and give all the traction a sane person would ever need on the street.

The mpss has slightly better traction. The s04 has arguably slightly better road feel (stiffer sidewalls, which the S seems to favor).

Either one makes an excellent choice.

Thanks for the input. I was looking at those pp s04's and they really are a bargain! The OP's usage exactly describes my needs, so I guess it's a done deal.

All Seasons? On an S? Not recommended.

If you need to drive in winter conditions, get spare wheels with winter tires. Otherwise get UHP summer or better...

I am assuming you drive the S like a sports car, and would recommend getting some good summer tires. Bridgestone RE-71R's are one of the grippiest summer street tires out there, but wear a bit fast. If you autox, you wont care about the life, since they are pretty much tied for the #1 street class autox tire. But for daily driving only and carving some corners on the street, the Hankook RS4 or the Dunlop Star Specs tend to be almost as good (you wont tell the performance difference from the stones on the street) and I think last a bit longer. But there are a lot of other good summer street tires.

If you do drive it in the winter and it gets below 40 F a lot where you are and even snows ... and you HAVE to drive the S in the winter, then I would get winter tires. While you spend more now, you spend no more than usual going forward since you use each set about half the time.

Now, you could be ok on all seasons if you are just driving it as a regular old car, but not many people buy the S without wanting to beat on it sometimes ... and good tires are a big thing then

Mine sits on stock wheels and all seasons in the winter, but all it does is sit in my garage until the first spring rains wash the salt off the roads :P
