Michelin PS4S

[Gazcw]

Been trying to find the above for the Strad and struggling.

Anyone found a supplier recently? All the usual suspects are out of stock or appear to only have merc or porsche compounds.

Only place that had them when I needed a couple a few months back were camskill.

Out of stock of 20". Hopefully some will turn up in the next couple of months. Still legal, just Pirelli P Slippy

Tyres on the Drive is showing as having them - doesn't appear to be manufacturer specific. £335 each mind!

Tyre availability seems to be tight recently, I have never had issues getting tyres in the past but the only ones we could find to fit the SZ was the dreaded P word. I could sort of expect that a strange size and 16" but I had the same issue trying to get tyres for the RR, once again P available but anything else was on 2 - 4 week delivery and no promises that they would be met

I had the same problems trying to find Michelin for my Abarth and couldn't wait so have gone for GY Eagles instead. So far, very impressive

Try Vintage Tyres. They may be able to help source them for you hello@vintagetyres.com

disclaimer: I do the social/pr, but he found me some for my GTA

Good year Eagle F1 Sports or Bridgestone Potenza Sport are in the same performance category as the PS4S

Cheers Fifty. Eagles were next option.

I've got Bridgestone Potenza's on my GT. I don't really have any complaints. I did have them on my previous BMW 4 Series, so I may have just got use to them. To be honest I'm probably not a good enough driver to notice the difference, even if I was running PS4S.

My preference is not only road holding but road noise, hence soft Michelin or similar Goodyear. Continentaaaals seem to be the worst. What are Potenza and Eagles like?

I agree there. Had continentals on another car and it was noisy.

On the 4200 I used to have the Bridgestone Potenza S001 which is the touring tyre and I changed to the Potenza Sports which are the ultimate performance tyre and there is a big difference in grip, they are also quieter which suggests to me that they are softer.

I have the PS4S on my Alpina D5 and while they are on two different cars both seem to have very similar characteristics to the Bridgestone Potenza Sport

Excellent. More than useful

 

[zagatoes30]

Bridgestone and Goodyear Eagles are my preferred tyres although run Continentals on the Bimmer and once they are worn in, 1000-1500 miles, I am really impressed with them.

 

[safrane]

Looking for tyres for the GS as the current ones are a bit old despite having 6mm on them still.

Any thoughts on TOYO Proxes?

I had Toyos on the TVR, seemed plenty grippy in wet and dry but can’t comment on cold weather. I went from Bridgstones to Michelin’s on the Alpina and much preferred the ride and lower noise of the Bridgestones, didn’t notice any difference in the way of grip but some of you lot apparently drive like loons.
