Has anyone had any luck finding the Stadale fitment PS4S tyres in stock anywhere?

I have just had ATS call to cancel my order; I've been advised that they contacted Michelin for an ETA and was advised that there wasn't one. Very odd apparently as they usually have a rough ETA, even if it's 4+ weeks away.

It's the 295/35 which is the problem, apparently..

This is true, but I plan on using my GTS in all weather and the SuperSport really does not perform well in the wet in comparison to the PS4S.

The SS is arguably a better tyre once warmed up on a nice dry and sunny day, but we don't have those often in this country.

According to the review, the Goodyear is better in the wet than the PS4S

Yes, yet in this years lineup from the same channel it is rated lower than the PS4S..

I suppose I will either need to sit tight and wait, or take a chance with the SuperSport.

I have used the PS4S on previous vehicles and been amazed by the results; that said that has been in a square setup, not staggered.

PS4S have been out for a while. The PS5 was recently launched so I expect a PS5S soon which will retake the top spot again.

Yes, I wondered if it was due to a imminent PS5S release.

I am surprised there is no incoming stock, as they are OE Porsche sizes, which I would have expected sold rather well?

Guys so reading this im going to get some PS4s. Can someone confirm what code i require and if it actually matters? Do i just need to pick one of the Ferrari codes e.g. K1, K2 or K3? I currently have Pirellis all round but need to change the fronts so thought i would start the switch with the fronts 1st or do i need to do all 4?

Cheers all

I suppose you need the generic PS4S, not Ferrari/Mercedes etc ones.
Not sure how long PS4S are going to be available for. I think they are being replaced and have been hard to get in certain sizes for a while now. I have them on mine and they are great tyres. You want to get something that you can match front and rear easily though, in terms of availability, I’d say. Sometimes sh!t happens and you get a puncture/ pothole damage and you need to be able to replace 1, or maybe 2, to match what’s on the rest of the car.

Anything without an OEM-specific marking in the model number. K1 (Ferrari), * (BMW), N0/NA0 (Porsche).

PS5 isn't available in rear fitment at the moment, and is technically a step down from the PS4S.
