Awesome! Any pics of them on the car?
I never updated this thread. I ended up buying Advan AD09s last year in 215 40 17 front and 265 35 18 rear.
Those tires are simply amazing in dry weather. Grip is obviously better, and rain performance was surprisingly good. I had the opportunity to drive it in rain on long highway trips to both the MidEast meet and NSXPO last year. I have not had the opportunity to use these on a track, but imagine they would do extremely well and would tolerate track conditions. I currently have about 4000 miles on these and I expect to get another season or two out of them before the rear tread becomes treacherous for rain performance. I certainly hope so, given I spent “all the dollars” for them.
I still wish I could buy PS4S or S5 in correct sizes, but these will do.

Are you sure you got those sizes correct? I looked on MIchelin's web site and neither size or variant was listed.
Who did you order these sizes from?
In EU those sizes are available.
Click on "maten bekijken" to get the list of available sizes.
And real-life proof

I seriously considered buying a set of Sport 5 from Europe, but by the time fees were calculated in, from the very few sellers willing to ship overseas, the cost was just too much. Further, no warranty at all (though probably not so important on these relatively short-life tires). How do you like them on your NSX so far?
I will likely be getting Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 tyres, which are available in 215/45 ZR16 and 245/40 ZR17 sizes.

Not NSX experience but I ran AD08Rs on my S2000 and changed to AD09s last year. For street driving, they felt very similar with the AD09s feeling overall a bit better but that could be more the fact that they were new tires. They apparently have better wet traction due to compound differences but I haven't done a ton of wet driving to notice a difference.
Haven't tested this set yet, but drove the NSX last year on S2000-spec wheels/tires with PS4, and for me it was a mayor improvement compared to the Falken FK510. The latter is also advertised a UHP tire, but for me it can't compete with a PS4 which is way more direct and communicative. With the PS4 I know/feel how much harder I can push the car, with the Falken I don't ...
Thanks for your posts (and others too). Made my decision easy.
