Michelin A/S 3+ tire size for 666 comp pack wheels

Hey folks,

Thinking about getting these tires but it looks like they don't come in the OEM sizes for the 20" 666 wheels. Any ideas which of the below tire sizes could work on these wheels?

275/30/20 have been known to lightly rub the fender liners, there is a bump/bulge molded into the plastic liners that may be heated up and massaged. Otherwise the tire fits.

the rubbing occurs on u-turns mainly, depending on which wheels you have, and the tire brand/model.

I can speak from experience on the Michelin 4s, not the AS3+ (which might be slightly smaller/narrower than the 4s).

I compared michelin specs on Tire Rack, AS3+ against PS4s, seems that the
PS4s is slightly narrower than the all season (which Michelin designated as 6-rib model).

Good luck and hope it works out. I think you can also go 245/35/20 if you don't mind giving up front width, I didnt see if they make that size in that tire tho. *(edit) yeah, they do, however it seems as tall as the 275/30/20

In the Pilot Alpin PA4 I have a perfect fit using 245/35 and 275/30 on the 666s

Not sure if those are available for these tires tho

I wouldn't think so as the stock is 265/30/20 but with the 35 wall it will be a bit higher as well so not sure.

I wish they made the stock sizes!

Can you just replace the rear with these A/S 3 plus and keep the super sport or 4S in the front? Sorry I didn’t mean to steal this thread.

So Costco had a good sale on Michelin tires. Installed 255 35 20 front and 285 30 20 rear AS3+. No rub. Ride not bad, yes they are a bit softer but you feel only when taking very sharp turns at speeds gt 45mph. So def not for track. Pretty Good overall.

I have an M4 competition as well and was looking to run 255/35/20 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4s on the front wheels temporarily. Have you had any issues with rubbing on the suspension strut?

That is stock size so it shouldn't rub. I have 265's in the front MPS4S and I do not rub.
