Default Tires

Good day,

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might find 4 Michelin PS 4S tires sizes 235/40/19 and 265/40/19. None of the shops I have dealt with in the past have access to them.
Help is always appreciated.

Hello 6mmamer,
I was hoping to get them in Ontario however, I am on Tire Rack's website as I type this and they do ship to Canada apparently so I will consider them if all else fails.
Thanks for the information.

You may want to call around to small local tire shops. Mine usually sources local warehouses for tires when I need them and give really good prices.

Yes that is one of the steps I will have to take tomorrow, getting a list of all local shops and do some phone work.
Thanks for your input.

I recently purchased a set of 20" Michelins and, to my amazement, the best price I found was ......the Porsche dealer!

I have a call into the local dealer, just waiting on a return call.

I bought my car this Monday from Deragon Auto in Cowansville QC and they just put on 4 new PS4S in those sizes on my Cayman, maybe call them to see who their supplier is - the Michelins was actually the only tires they had in stock in those sizes.

Last month I needed new rear tires. I usually buy at Tire rack, but they were out of stock last time. I bought them online at Walmart.
They have the tires you need in stock.

I got hold of a local tire shop claiming they can get the Michelins in a week so we'll see how that goes.
I did have a chat session with Oakville Porsche to get a quote. Their quote was for Yokahama Advan Sport, no mention of Michelin or even Pirelli.
Tried Tire Rack. They have 3 of the Michelins one on backorder so who knows how long that will take.
Walmart US no option to ship to Canada.
Tried Walmart Canada, their website is useless.
I never dreamed getting tires for this car would be so challenging. Good thing I'm retired and have nothing but time to look LOL.

I'll let you know when I know.
Thank you all for the suggestions.

Dennis

The specific factory sizes are also hard to find with the 20" wheel options, so the majority of us just step up to 245 on the front and 275 in the rear which maintains the same staggered rolling ratio, and are visually identical. It seems the 245/275 combo is plentiful, or at least it has been for myself and many others over the years with 20" wheels.

I just checked and PMC tires out of Quebec has them in stock for both front and rear - FYI, I've ordered about a dozen sets of tires from them over the past 5 years, they are good to deal with.

Thanks for this info Newusername I have bookmarked their site in case the shop I gave the go ahead to fails.
They said a week and all the reviews I read about them were positive so we shall see.

Thanks again,
Dennis

I wouldn’t buy Michelin If your roads are bad. I’ve blown every one on my s4. I wasn’t going fast nor were the holes large or deep. Never had that issue with Continental or Bridgestone. Same roads same holes

The roads aren't bad at all where we do the majority of our driving so that won't be a concern.
