Michelin pss still made???

[veilside85]

Have Michelin replaced the pilot super sports? As I'm due four new tyres and phoning local tyre shop saying they don't do them anymore.

 

[dgm]

Don't know if they're still available as new but they have been superseded in the Michelin line up by the PS4S.

 

[Gazc]

PS4S are only available in sizes 19" and above. I had to have PS 4 only had them on for 500 miles but seem fine.

 

[GuidoK]

I think michelin is replacing pss with pilotsport 4s which is not made in 18" I believe. (they advise for your car the normal pilotsport 4)

But 18"PSS is still available:
front (I think I got the measurements right but check that):

Thanks I'll have a good search about tonight

 

[Gazc]

£580 for a full set delivered from camskill.

 

[dgm]

No offence Gazc but I wouldn't put PS4 on a Z4M, it's not the equivalent of the PSS.

 

[Gazc]

Depends what you use the car for they are better than the Pirelli's I took off and much better than the original conti M 3's. I don't do trackdays so PS 4 's are more than good enough, better than PSS in the wet and living in West Wales that's important.

Here is the review that made me decide to buy them.

 

[dgm]

Understood but my understanding is that the OP is looking to replace the PSS like for like and the PS4 aren't that.

 

[Steve84N]

PS4 tyres are plenty good enough for an M, very good tyre in my experience so far which is compared against F1s. I haven't driven PSS though so they are probably gripper in the dry but the PS4 still bite hard.

 

[dgm]

Does plenty good enough equate to the best available for the type of car? The PS4 didn't replace the PSS, it replaced the PS3. PSS was replaced by the PS4S.

 

[veilside85]

I did want to replace like for like only option is if I can get old stock of pss or go to ps4 due to Michelin not making ps4s in our size

 

[dgm]

PSS are still available new, Camskill has them amongst others.

 

[KERMIT1970]

It's old stock as Mpss have been replaced with the mp4's

 

[buzyg]

Bought a set of MPSS a couple of months back. Did require a little hunting. The good news they seem to be cheaper than ever.

 

[Gazc]

They only had the fronts when I tried to buy them and if you read the review I posted they didn't replace the PS3 they are intended to replace the MPSS the PS4S is a new tyre.

This is hardly a new story but......
