Well for those of us with 18" wheels - we're fk'd.

They aren't making 4S for smaller than 19" wheels I've just been told by Michelin.

:rant::angry:

 

Get MPSS whilst they're still carrying stock!

 

They are largely gone now.

Also what to move to as a readily available stock. Stupid fking company.

You think you've got problems, the new whip means I'm down to 17s now :scare:

He was clear. He said MPS4, not MPS4S.

 

Just checking - it's a frigging ridiculous naming convention.

 

So what makes the PS4 - better than PSS ?

 

EDIT:

Found some reviews and what not - plus some apparent info from an employee at Michelin (and even then there's some internet arguing! yey)...

Internet arguing is the best :D

 

PS4 is multi compound (like the MPSC2), unlike the PSS which is dual compound. That and the fact there's been a few years' worth of R&D into developing new rubber makes it the go-to choice for me in 18" sizes. If I had 19" wheels then yes, MPS4S is the way to go, but for 18" I don't feel hard done by at all.

I got a full set of MPS4 for £550 + VAT (standard Rays). Must say I'm well pleased with them, although there were some random budget tyres on when I got the tyre so it may be better waiting for someone with MPSS experience to comment.

Well looks like Rosie needs 4 new shoes ready for another roadtrip.

 

Loved the MPSS, but seems they are hard to get now, especially for the fronts. Maybe time to try out the MPS4

 

Will don't forget you want the MPS4-S which are available in 19" for Rosie.

Yup thanks meant to post that. I can find the 4S for the rear but looks like Michelin don't do the 4s for the front 245/40R19

Dam, confirmed via the Michelin they don't do a MPS4s for 245/40r19. Pity as the linked review shows it's a step up all around on the MPSS.

 

so it looks like it's back to the MPSS all round or mix 4s rear and MPSS on the front
