here's my problem. I've been running 245/30/20 and 325/25/20 set up for about 4 years now. I was using Pirelli up until recent but they discontinued the 325/25/20. So I decided to switch to Michelin. Well I only ordered the rears at first cause I was getting my wheels re-powdered and did not think about the ties being mismatched until after getting my wheels back. Also I have a damaged front now and have to change them. Try to order a pair of fronts but Michelin discontinued the 245/30/20. Now I'm stuck with a pair of Michelins rears that I only have a few hundred miles with no chance to have matching fronts.. a lil PO about that.
The real kicker is I can not find a tire manufacture who make these two tire sizes... Wondering if anyone else has ran into this problem and what they did about it?? Thanks for any help

 

Michelin had a 30 day money back guarantee on the Pilot Super Sports - not sure if those are your tires or if the guarantee is still in effect, but worth a try.

I had the same set-up before going to 19's, and was using Continental Extreme Contact. They should definitely have both those sizes.

Good luck.

 

Thanks but I pass the 30 day. I'll check the continental but I believe they are not..

I find it hard more turbo owners are not having this same problem.

 

Meaker have you tried EBay... Good source of discontinued tires. If you can find your size - it might buy you time tll the next time you need to replace.

 

Word on the street is that Michelin has stopped manufacturing the tires sizes on your car(mine too) in the PS2's to prepare for ramping up the Super Sports. What's weird is their website still shows them avaialble. I mentioned this in the WTB thread but I also heard that we should not expect the Super Sports until spring.

 

what do you have? PS, PS2, PSS?

 

They cannot ramp up the Pilot Super Sports as a replacement for the PS2 until they get the N rating and as far as I know, they have not received that designation yet.

 

Yea, I tried Ebay and the only ones I could find were used and in the UK. I have PS2 on the rear and would love to find the fronts.
If I can't Michelin I be willing to try another brand but can't seem to find another brand that makes a 245/30/20 and a 325/25/20...

 

I ordered some 360 Forged MB5 for my birthday on May 3 and have yet to put them on b/c i cannot find these tire sizes. I found the rear tires and I think order the last pair in the USA or close to it. No luck yet on the front which are 245/30/20. What kind of **** luck is that...???

 

Try Michelin. i hope it will fix your problem.

 

245/30/20 & 325/25/20 seem to be bull**** sizes, I'm having the same problems you guys are. Pirelli discontinued the tires, I have Conti DW's on the rear but can't find the fronts because Conti discontinued the fronts. Not sure what is going on with Michelin, and don't want Hancooks.

 

Yes this sucks, either we stop driving our cars or get a set of 19's

 

This is a complete crap shoot.

Wondering if we got a commitment of buyers together if we could get one these vendors along with a tire manufacture or direct to tire manufacture to make some tires for us??? As far as I can tell there is a market for this and no one to supply it....

 

I just send an email to Damon @ tirerack along with a link to this thread I'm sure he can help.

 

I don't know if they're willing to ship to the US, but check out topbanden . com
They have Michelin Pilot Sport NO in stock.
