Michelin tyres.

Just got an email stating that Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres are now available in stock ST size. Any recommendations?

Michelin USA's website shows only the PS5 and the PS4AS available in 205/40R17.

I'm sticking with stock sizes so may invest when my Lionhart tyres are toast.

Not a bad price at $760 a set.

Who is advertising them for sale?

Tire Rack and others. [email protected]

Tire Rack was the first place I checked when you first posted, and I also just checked today. They don't show the PS 4S available. Just the PS AS4 and the PS5.

My apologies.

I bought my car new, drove it home and swopped to Michelin All Seasons. That's all I have ever run on the car in its 86,000+ miles. Still have the original tires on stock rims with 65 miles on them in the basement.

I've had the PSAS3+ on some prior cars & loved them. The AS4 will be high on the list when it's time.
Potenza RE980AS were a good one too, and a but cheaper than the Michelin, but don't see them in stock size, superseded by the RE980AS+

Just rented a fairly new M/B CLA 250 to go to the casino in Temecula. It was shod with Michelins but I wasn't too impressed with them. They felt a bit wallowy at times, maybe it was the road surface but they didn't exactly thrill me with their performance.

The lower lever Michelin are long lasting but not great performance. Had Defenders on a Malibu & they were good, but nowhere near the PSAS3+ or RE980AS, both of which are UHP AS tires.
