Tire advice needed

Kooch · 04-02-2018, 08:17 AM

I'm looking at tire for a set of summer wheels coming in a few weeks. Size will be 265/35/19 and 305/30/19. Tire rack has a set of Michelin pilot ps2 labeled for Porsche. Will these be ok? The 4s are currently on backorder is this size. Btw this is for DD no track use. Thanks.

These will still work for your F8x. The PS2 is older tire technology and we would highly recommend holding out for the PS4S.

The PS2 was the OEM tire on the Alpina Z8 and the Mercedes SLR as well. You should not have any issue running these on your car if the sizes match up.

Thanks. Appreciate then advice. The fronts in 4s won't be delivered from tire rack until late June for me. I should have the wheels in April. Don't know if I want to wait that long to get the wheels on the car. Any thoughts on other options? Should I go with the ps2 instead? Or something else?

If you're on the stock 437 wheels and still considering PS4S, I have some recent discoveries noted in this post that may be useful to you.

Thanks but I'll be on a new set of bc forged I'm having made. I ended up going with the Kumho ecsta ps91 xl. Had the sizes and decent reviews at a lot less cost. Will see how these go and if I need to make a change to the Michelin again in the future I can do so. Definitely excited to get some 305s on the rear.
