Tire blowout/ 4S back ordered.

Hi guys... While driving in Northern ca I ran into a small landslide and 2 of my tires instantly blew out, one front and one rear. I'm currently running 265/35/19s front and 285/35/19s on the rears on stock rims and stock everything else. Brand is Michelin Sport 4S. Because the 265/35s won't be even available until April is there another size that is at least as wide that I can use with the 4S without rubbing? Or is there a brand/model of tire that is at least as good in both the wet and dry in the same size? Thanks for any recommendations.

Yes potenza RE71 R in that exact spec.

It is better than the 4S in every which way other than longevity and noise.

It's comparable to a Cup 2.

Conti ECS come in same sizes, and probably a better match to the 4S (if you must mix/match)

Would try to get Continental Extreme Contact Sport. That is one of the main competitors to to MPS4s.

For the price, these tires are especially great! I got to drive my car today, these Continental tires offer super good grip, especially considering the price. I'd rank them just below the Pilot Sport 4 S's... almost equal.

How's the quietness and ride to MPS4s? Been reading that Contis ride better?

Nice. But they are a little taller than stock right?

If they are it's definitely not noticeable at all. If anything they look a little lower pro than the PS4s'. I do like the look of the PS4's' better though. I also noticed today with temps in the low 30s that on dry pavement the PS4s' perform slightly better in the cold. I will be going back to PS4s' for my next set but these are great tires.
