Having some trouble sourcing Michelin tyres for my 996.2, they are fitted with 285/30ZR18 Pilot Sports and it seems there are none in Aus land, i have tried the usual searches but I am thus far unable to track any down. If anyone knows of any gathering dust can you please let me know, thanks.
Tyres are hard on the ground right now. I had a tough search for the 255s on my 17" Cups. That's how ended up with Falkens. St George Tyres have Continentals in stock... http://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au/tyres/continental-tyres-285-30-18-sports-contact-2-n2-2853018/product-detail.aspx Tyroola appears to have the Michelins in stock https://www.tyroola.com.au/tyre/285-30-r18/nsw/?s=relevance&d=desc&price=0-0
I went through the tyroola and it came up eventually with not available
I am sponsored by Michelin Australia and even contacting them directly, they just don't have them. The Covid shut downs at the time were not felt, but now the stock is all depleted and there is nothing to replace them
Thanks John, I was looking at the 4S and it said not available, no other option came up for me at the time, looks like they will be delivered Wed or Thu, I only hope they are not 3 years old or something.

I wanted to put PS 4S on my 987 a month ago but not available. Ended up with P Zeros

I unfortunately blew a rear tyre a week ago and the mechanic managed to source a set of Michelin PS2s in that size, so if you are willing to settle for PS2s instead of the PS4S there may still a few of them floating around. Looking at the Michelin site the 4S are not available in the 285/30/18, the widest 18 option is 265/40/18.

Where did you order them from sir? I’m swapping the Trofeo R spec tyres on the 996.2 as, whilst thrilling in the dry, it’s wildly thrilling in damp wet conditions... i’ve been advised Michelin, Unlikely to have new stock in the country for three or four weeks.
Tyroola, but, I could only get cup 2's, I really wanted 4S but not available and don't know when they will be in, even my usual tyre guy i have been following from shop to shop for the last 6 years couldn't get them and has no info on when they will arrive. It may be worth shooting an email to Michelin to see if they can provide info on arrival times. Good luck.
So it's taken Tyroola all day to realize they can't get any Michelin tyres, they have just emailed to confirm the bad news.
For anyone interested i have spoken to Michelin Aust and they will have cup 2 in the country early Jan, sport 2 won't be available for another 3 mths. I have been advised to order through my local tyre shop.
I have some Pirelli's P Zero Rosso's in these sizes if anyone is in desperate need.

I would call Tempe Tyres if need is urgent, they are a parrallel importer so sometimes they have stock when others do not.

I had the same issue looking for 19’s in Michelin’s (235/35/19 & 305/30/19). I ended up with Continental Sport Contact 6 in a 235/35/19 and a 315/25/19 which was advised by BBS in Germany. Not my first choice but I really wanted my new wheels on the car...
Had the same issue on my 993TT. I went with the PS2 in 295/30.
