Where can I find Michelin PSS in stock?

only1harry · 05-10-2015, 01:23 PM

It seems that everywhere I look they are out of stock on the Michelin Pilot SuperSports. Even Tire Rack. They keep pushing back the expected in-stock date. Now it's end of May. I am riding on the Michelin X-Ice and they are not great in warm weather (80's here in NY!) and sound more noisy than usual. I need to save the X-Ice for next winter before the tread goes down. I 've had them for 2 seasons now (about 6-7k mi. on them) and would like to get 1 more season out of them.

I have a 335i and looking for sizes 225-40-18 and 255-35-18 in the Mich.PSS.

Also what is the width of my BMW 18" wheels front & rear? I want to get a 2nd set for dedicated summer or winter wheels. Is it 18x8 F and 18x9 R?

Thanks for you help guys!

I bought my PSS a year ago at America's Tires (aka Discount Tires). They were able to order them overnight.

Some popular sizes of the Pilot Super Sport, such as 255/35R18 are on backorder from Michelin.

I'd get some bigger tires anyway. Good excuse. 265 rear and 235 front if you can't find the sizes you want. Also, Americas tire is discount tire for most of the country. And California only, which is definitely not most of the country, calls them Americas tire. Maybe when california starts acting like the rest of the country and decides to rejoin the Union of the other 49 states they'll change the name. Until them I guess it's Americas tire because they're imported to California from America.

Thanks guys, but Discount Tire was the 2nd one I looked at after TireRack.
They do NOT have any either, and don't expect them in until the end of May, like Tirerack.

I can't buy larger tires. I am working with BMW on a suspension issue (still 2 months left on new warranty), and I don't want to give them an excuse to blame it on larger or non-standard size tires.

It looks like Amazon has them! Anyone buy tires from Amazon?

Spoke too soon. No 255-35-18's

Fundguy1 · 05-11-2015, 11:16 PM

I can't see tires being a problem with warranty. Larger are stock size on optional rims if I'm not mistaken. Regardless, tires were never an issue when I has suspension work done. And if you reported it already it's on record. Bring your receipt for the new ones showing you got them after you reported the issue if you're worried. No point suffering a set of tires to smallrr than you want for that.

Try TireBuyer.com, they shipped my PSS in one day couple weeks ago. They also have coupon/rebates floating around.

Thanks I checked there too but they don't have the 255-35-18 for the rear.
