"The PS4S features an aramid/nylon belt that's designed to help the tire maintain its shape under pressure. This stronger belt effectively gives the PS4S a wider contact patch, which is especially helpful in high-speed cornering. A new tread pattern also helps improve grip by distributing pressure more evenly across the contact patch."

To me this would mean as long as the tire is in spec on the rim it should be able to use its contact patch.
