Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've been recommended the Michelin pilot sport 4's as a good option for replacements all round. However searching for a supplier I can't find anyone selling 285/30R18's in PS4's only PS2's (for the rear), plenty of 225/40R18's for the front.... Is anyone aware if they are actually available in 285/30R18 size? All searches are throwing up 265/35R18 as an alternative, which is available but that'll be 20mm narrower and probably wouldn't sit right on the wheel. Has anyone here fitted them, or can suggest a supplier?
What car is that tyre for, and is it a non-standard tyre size?
Michelin only list Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect and PS2 in that size.

As others have said they don't make the PS4S in the exactly the right size for the rear. I went through this & in the end elected to go for PS2s all round as an N rated but older design tyre. Not sure whether fitting the 265 width is achievable &/or a good idea, others on here may have a view?
You could go PS4S front & PS2 rear though without issue as you would not be mixing tyres on same axle which is the big no no.

Thanks for the tips. I ended up going to MPS2's in the end.
Wheels and brakes are getting a 'make-over' and I'm refreshing the suspension prior to a CG alignment session. They did my 944 in September and I appreciated their detail and advice hence the 996 refresh. I'm sticking with standard bushings and arms, but going for Koni special active shocks.
Currently I'm looking to swap my noisy Pirelli for Michelin (on my 997.2). But I'm curious about what tyres you have fitted to your 944? All four tyres on my 944 Turbo (only bought it 7 weeks ago, I have a lot to learn) on lt need replacing on the 17" Cup 1 wheels.
