Michelin's PS4S N rated - Where can I find them?

Have this exact same issue. After speaking with a specialist the options appear to be:

1. Go without N rated - not an option for me due to warranty.
2. Michelin CUP tyres - not a great solution for an everyday road car.

Really don't want to replace like with like and keep running P-Zeros I find them really poor in the wet.

The question is really can you fit a 305 width tyre on an 11J rim? Otherwise the only option is change to an 11.5 J (such as the sport techno's) you then have the choice of the Michelin 4S or (if you can find them) or Dunlop sport max.

For the 11J rim only the Pirelli is available in N rated.

Ahh yes, I see what you mean now :grin:

Looks like the only option is P Zero's or non N rated :thumb:

I have P Zero N1 on my 991.2 4S. No problems with them in terms of ride and performance

Have you been out in the wet yet :grin:

Seriously compared to the Michelins its night and day, in the wet the P zeros are absolutely lethal, the 4 wheel drive will no doubt compensate and make things seem ok. But in a 2S :nooo:

The odd thing I have found is that the P zeros are absolutely fine in the wet (Gen 1 C2 GTS). I've even tried to provoke the rear; nothing scary yet.

Yea they are not as bad as being made out here - have pushed them in the wet @ silverstone on a track day and kept it on track!

I reached out to an MD @ Michelin. They know its an issue and they are looking to get N rated sets available for PS4S some time next year.
