Thanks for all your replies. Real OEM is listing super sports and the car is mostly a weekend toy. I’m guessing the super sports have an edge in good conditions and the mps4 has the edge in wet/damp conditions. Yes? Having said that is the Michelin super sport dodgy in the wet? I do live in Lancashire...

I find the MPSS great in the wet so don’t worry on that account. I read on another forum that the PS4S will become available in March, if that’s correct you might want to hang on until then.

Yes, that’s what I read. As for a link, I think it was on Pistonheads. If I can find it I’ll post it up.ian in lancs wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 9:11 pmdo you mean MPS4S will available in 18" sizes in March?

In fact it was on here, this thread and posted by mjennings23. You’d need to ask him his source.

I know this refers to the States but further claims as to PS4S 18” availability on this:

Cheers buddy. Hopefully they go on sale as I’m looking to put my summer wheels on in March and need a new set of tyres. Can’t wait to get of these tramlining Bridgestones: https://instagram.com/p/Be2STFjl9YM/

I had reached out last May (when I bought my Z4MR) to a contact at Michelin HQ in the US (I live near there) and they'd told me the PS4S in 18-inch would be available in January 2018. Needing new tires at the time I'd bought something else but I'll try to contact him again.
Edited: the chart at https://www.michelinman.com/US/en/tires/sizes.html says they're available now, but that my mean US only for now.

I tried to order some super sports yesterday - they are on 2 month backorder so called Michelin who confirmed they are discontinued. The super sports are replaced by the pilot sport 4 S which they don't do in 18".
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres it will be then!

I am looking at replacing my tyres all round with Micheline PS4 on the standard Z4M 18" alloys. Where are you guys in the UK sourcing them from and how much have they been? So far be only checked the blackcircles page.
Thanks in advanced for your comments

I don’t think you’ll beat the Blackcircles price at the moment, the £50 off four Michelins offer undercuts the opposition. Compare their prices with Camskill or Oponeo who I normally find to offer the best prices.
