Having trouble finding tires, need some help!

[delita1]

Assuming it's Covid related - I've called about...6 vendors looking for Michelin PS4S 265/35/R19 fronts. I already had the 285 rears delivered, and an order in for the 265 that the vendor cancelled saying they realized they didn't have any. Anyone have a lead on a place I could get them? Much appreciated.

Looks like i'm screwed for the time being, sad part is I got the rears (285s), 265's are nowhere to be found with no good ETA. Thanks covid!

I feel this pain. My car is parked outside for the past week covered in snow and Summer tires. I have to drive it in a day or so. I so hope I don’t crack them

tirerack.com. They have them in stock and ready to ship.

The 265s are not available anywhere in the country.

They have a 4/16 date that is just an estimate at this point. I got the 285s from TireRack assuming I could get the 265s elsewhere and I have had 0 luck calling 8 different sites and even Michelin themselves who told me there are 0 in the NA warehouse, on backorder - probably until late April/early May.

Unless a random retail store just had these sitting around it's a no go, which is a huge bummer.

My other option is return the 285 PS4's and just get 4 different tires 265/285. Anything else comparable to PS4 that's an upgrade from the stock PSS?

Youre not alone on the tires being out of stock. Ordered some Goodyear Exhilarate all season tires and were delayed several times until at least the end of March. Tirerack said everything was due to COVID still. I switched over to the Michelin Pilot A/S 3+ tires instead.

ah thats my bad. I misread your post. I thought you were looking for the MPSS and those are totally in stock.

Yeah. Trying to decide what to do. I thought a tire change made sense from the perspective that it's going in for a JB4 tune/exhaust/springs, wider grippier tires seemed to be the next best step.
My options are now are:
Hold onto the 285 PS4S and wait months for the 265 and keep stock PSS on
Return 285 PS4S for 4 different tires - everything seems like a lateral move from the PSS, PS4S seems to make the most sense from a street tire upgrade

I'm sure the stock tires will be OK, but considering i'm putting the springs on and will have to get an alignment done anyway, trying to save myself from having to do another alignment in a couple of months.

I did nearly the same thing and ended up switching out the rear 285 PS4S for 4 Continental Extreme Contact Sport 265/285 and so far really enjoying them. Seem every bit as grippy as the PSS.

@delita...
Just curious why you would have to get another alignment after you change tire size?

technically changing tire size shouldnt affect alignment, so right, i probably wouldnt have to do it again.

I don't think you'll have an alignment issues changinging tire sizes...but good luck finding the tires you want...
