MPS 4S. Just had them put on my car yesterday. One important feature for me was less road noise. MPS 4S had impressive reviews on tirerack. I thought they were in stock at tirerack.

They are in stock at Tirerack. I ordered a set yesterday, and they will be delivered today in Los Angeles. The set I was sent came from their warehouse in Reno, NV.

Pilot Sport 4S is shipping. There may be a small wait but it is pretty quick. When I ordered mine from my Porsche dealer, they didn't know how long it would take, but the tires arrives within a week. My dealer gets their tires from Tire Rack (they are a distributor as well as a retailer).

Would the dealership install the M 4S, mine insists on Pirelli due to the N0 or N1 porsche requirement. I have the wheel and tire insurance do you think it would be a show stopper to have Michelin installed? I don't want to install at discount tire or other local place? Any ideas?

My Porsche dealer tried to push the Pirelli, however when I pointed out that they have Michelin posters on the wall in the service department, and that all the great Porsche's - the 918, 917, 919, GT3 and GT3 RS all wear Michelins, the guy didn't argue back. And they sold and installed the Michelins.

Interestingly after I got them in the service guys were really excited about them. Seems they want a set of the PS4S for their own cars too.

i had my michelins installed by the dealership no problem. Although I did hear the Service Manager pushing P Zeros to someone on the phone.

I've had 4S on my TTS for 2 weeks. Amazing on street, in wet and on track this weekend. Massive improvement over p zero
