Michelin Pilot Sport 2 295/30 R18 on national backorder! What's a good alternative?

Can't wait for these any longer. What is a quality replacement for this tire? These are for a 2004 twin turbo.

Had no idea. Try tire rack they will have alternatives. Bridgestone or Yoko but I prefer Bridgestone.

they are probably discontinued. The Pilot Super Sports are coming out sometime (hopefully soon).

Sumitomo HTRZ III for less than half the price...

I really like mine, and I'm a total tire snob...

Bridgestone RE05A's have been awesome in my experience and that is at 600whp+

damon@tirerack has a reputation beyond repute

The 295 Michelin is not discontinued, just on BO.

The Sumitomos are quite good for the money, and my number one selling 18" tire for these cars. Really.

The Bridgestone RE050A Pole Position is quite good as well. People really like the Hankook V12 also. Not as good a dry tire, but cheap and great in the rain.

Please call me if I can help.
