Michelin PS4 S - no stock?

[james22]

Just about to replace my Michelin SS on my C63 for PS4 S’s but can’t find any in the UK for my rears (265/35/19)?

Is there a problem with supply this close to Xmas?

Looks it. Super Sport and Cups available everywhere. Might not be a very popular size for the 4s at the moment.

Michelin ran a promotion giving £100 cash back for 4 tyres bought, in October and November - that's cleared out the stock of PS4S!!

I've just put them on my QV*, not as good as the OEM Corsas in the dry, and on the limit, but in every other circumstance they are far better, and in the dry they are still awesome...and they'll last a LOT longer


(* ordered in mid-October, delivery promised for 20th Nov, delivery of the 4th tyre then delayed until late January, until I 'had a word' with a Michelin contact, and he sourced one tyre from Germany. Fitted 2 weeks ago) - 295/30/19 and 255/35/19

I can find 245/35 for the front but not the rear - do you think you could mix them with Super Sports on the rears?

Try the C63 UK Facebook group.

There's a guy in there Ben something or other who always seems to have a supply of them at a decent price.

NO!!

Keep looking, they'll be back in stock soon. Contact Michelin.

Spoke to Michelin UK - no stock available till March!

I didn't realise they'd made the 265s yet.

I end up fitting 275/35 r19.

If you have to mix, the Continental SportContact 6 is a better match than the PSS as had a similar level of wet grip and sidewall stiffness .

Or look to go up/down a width.

Availability of these tyres has been poor for months. Michelin seemed have f'ed up somewhat by creating a great tyre but then not making enough to supply demand. I was on the hunt for some earleir this year and was emailing Michelin head office who kept promising more stock was imminent but which never materialised. In the end I lost pateince and went with Continental SportContact which I am very pleased with.
