PS4 SKUs

Can anyone share the SKUs they've ordered for PS4s?

Either 265/285 or 275/295.

This is starting to drive me bonkers, as different sites state different SKUs, sometimes multiple SKUs for the same sizes, which are all Michelin SKUs.

I've been looking at this for too long. Please help.

There's a few variations of certain sizes. Best bet is to look up on tire rack for what you need

I've tried this, searching specific SKUs.

Some mention they're run flats. Others make no mention. No mention of "star spec" or "MB spec", although tires are different weights.

This is what pops up as a fitment option according to Michelin tire.

You can try emailing them to to see if they could help you. There is a lot of information provided, the only difficult thing for some people is to sift through it.
The Star spec tires are sometimes hard to find even though they are listed with an asterik mark " * " as a representation as the star spec. Honestly it shouldn't take to much time to find another tire. These tires don't vary significantly if you remain with same manufacture.

its fine to get wider tires, just remember the aspect ratio can increase overall diameter.

I bought a a random 265/35/19 PS4S tire from a local shop for my GTS, no problems, not star rated or Mercedes rated, just a regular Michelin PS4S.

In the second photo, even Michelin has different rated tires that claim will work with M4, or M3... you aren't gonna max out the tire unless you get some undersized tire or cheap manufacture.

Is there a definitive answer if 275/295 works on F80 with no spacers, moderately lowered via MP HAS on stock 666 wheels? Are there certain variations that work or do not?

I'm about to order new PS4s as well but can't decide on the size.

The different SKUs can also mean different manufacturing dates/batches.

You can email Michelin to confirm the dates but from what I can tell, the higher the number, the later the run.

For example:

08763 has a production date of 01Nov18
73134 has a production date of 01July 19

I also need new shoes for my F80 M3. After all the research I have done on the forums and TireRack, I think I will be ordering 265/30/20 and 295/30/20 PS4s for 666s. I am currently running 265/285 PSSs with 12mm/10mm spacers lowered on MP HAS. The 265/30/20 PS4s are wider than the stock PSS so I know I will have to reduce or remove my front spacers. The 295/30/20 PS4s have 1.1 inches more tread width than the 285/30 PSS, so I will probably run them with no spacer.

Now, I just have to find a reliable installer that wont destroy the wheel face and has a RFB machine in San Diego.

I think I'm going the 265/30/20-295/30/20 route for the 666s as well. The 275s width seem to vary depending on SKU and I don't want to risk them not fitting correctly.

Before you order the 295/30/20, please realize that there is a M01 spec (Mercedes) which is 10.3 tread width and standard blackwall which is 11.1 tread width. Order accordingly based on your setup.
