It's been months and I been on the lookout, anyone have an in on where to get some new pss?
I'm going to be needing a pair for the rear by summer. I hear the PS2's are not as good. My fronts are still pretty good so I'd prefer just getting a rear set rather than having to shell out for 4 new tires from another brand.

 

you could go up to the Pilot sport Cup2's

few more dollars but still nice tire.

PSS tires are the new model and in high demand it seems

 

Check eBay

 

Now why didn't I think of that..

 

Still on backorder officially - but ebay, and other loose sets are available if you luck out with places that have holdover stock.

 

Pirelli P Zero's are available in that size if you need something in a pinch and can't wait for the Super Sports.

 

I have recently been looking for a set of Michelin Pilot Sports for my GT2 (315/30ZR18) and the rears especially cannot be found. Michelin says backordered with no plan to produce any. It may end up being Italian tires on the German car.

 

the p zero asyms at 400 is now my go to tire, as i cant endure the bi annual search for michis are 500 a pop. plus now that the chinese are making the pirelli i have great respect for their quality control potential. you don't wanna mess up a batch of tires when you're making them for the state

but wait..19's on nj roads. lemme ponder again the wisdom of that! lol i kid.

 

me too, it like i said its a semi annual hunt I've been enduring since the sets on 315/30 ps2's at 600 a SET) got finished fast!. so f*ck them. it's chinese all the way, who am i to argue with gobalization, bejing uber alles lol

pirelli was bought by the chinese STATE some weeks ago. if it comforts you at least they have yet to properly translate pirelli p zero asymmetrico forsa, and the oz wheel allegrita is for now, safe too as its still made in italia

so essentially, moving forward pirelli too, is fugazi.

 

I am relieved the Pirellis are not made in China. If that was the case I would have to contemplate more deeply.

 

not yet! ( as i have understood this. ) but they will be soon made in mainland china. again, it's a state owned and run business moving forward, and although i'm not a fan of the chinese practices relative to their treatment of the prisoner/workers i am a fan of pirelli rubber. it's just another sign 'o the times

AD08 is a good choice too guys

 

Anyone considering BFGOODRICH G-FORCE RIVAL @ $333 each in 315/30/18?

 

Thanks for all the advice guys, I think i'm going to go for some used PS2's in the interim until the fronts wear out and then replace them all with something that is more readily available. Maybe the Sport Cup2s although they are very pricey.
The PSS were very very grippy and way softer ride compared the original continentals I had on the 18" stockers

 

Try the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R, Bob Goodman tires has our sizes, 235/295's and they are hundreds less than the new MPSC2. Excellent grip and wear, ride and no noise like the R888 & NT01's.
