What is difference between all of these, I hate it, plus Costco just has them as "Summer Tires".
The 94Y vs 91W, 94 vs 91 is the load rating on each tyre, the W and Y is the speed rating. No idea about the PS2, but the PS4 is a performance tyre and the PS4S is the higher performance (more track focused) one of that and the successor to the PSS (Pilot Super Sport), the PS4S is one below the Cup 2, but more “streetable”. Knowing how good the PSSs are I’d get the PS4S.

BTW Michelin’s naming convention around these tyres is confusing, PS4S (Pilot Sport 4 S) is basically the Pilot Super Sport 2. They should’ve just called them that.
