Liongolfer Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) I think I'll be staying with my stock 18 rims and will go with PS4. The comparo by the same site puts the ps4 as better in the wet than my current PS2 which is impt for me. No track for me so o guess the ps4s may be overkill. That said, if the ps4s came in 18s, is go for them. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Michelin/Pilot-Sport-PS2.htm http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Michelin/Pilot-Sport-4.htm Edited March 15, 2019 by Liongolfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liongolfer Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Seems like the ps4s is now available for 18s according to tire rack USA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinners1983 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) I'm tyre shopping at the moment for my 987.1 S on 19" I can get the PS4S in the front 235/35, but there seems to be no 265/35 in 19", only 20" I can buy a 265/40R19 or 265/30R19 but not sure that's going to work. Any thoughts? Edited March 24, 2019 by Tinners1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushman Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 is a 275/35/19 available? the 10mm extra width should be fine. 30 profiles are going to give a really hard ride. A 265/40/19 tyre is about 14mm larger in diameter overall than a 265/35 so will very slightly raise the gearing. hope this helps. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liongolfer Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Just called my local Michelin.. 18s ain't here yet and they don't know when it'll come in.. ah well.. o have some time. By the way, apart from the tread wear indicator, how often age wise do you guys change tires? I put on only 8000 to 9000 km per year and I'm no wear close to the tread wear markers but my tires are coming 3 years old. Rubbers harden over time so just wondering apart from tread wear, what's the number of years recommended for a tite change.. 2/3/4 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? MPS4S are available in 265/35/19, however they have run out of stock in the UK and earliest they will arrive in the UK is the 10th may. (I’ve tried all the big tyre guys, plus Costco and some good indie garages.) Its a PITA because I really need some new tyres before the Nurburgring at the end of April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twopointnine Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 A question for those of you who have already fitted Michelin MPS4S tyres in sizes 265/35 19 rear and 235/35 19 front: is the rim protection as good as with the MPS2 tyres? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
