The MPSS is dead, long live the PS4S!

Here's the French Michelin website, you can find all the sizes at the end of the page :cheers:

Thanks!

But let's pray that list is missing some sizes, cause it would mean 90% of the Mustang drivers are in the 8% of the sportscar market they won't cover :shrug:

Most of us have 19" and they seem to have deleted the 255/40R19, 275/40R19 and 295/35R19 (quick first look). Which probably are the most common MPSS for our Mustang.

PS: [MENTION=13598]Gibbo205[/MENTION] the 275/35R20 and 295/35R20 you said aren't in that list either :doh:

e: added the list

Really crap on the sizes. :(
Now you watch I bet the US gets more size options with taller walls.

For 20" the options I can see working are:
295/30/20 & 325/30/20 (10" front wide wheel and 11" wide rear wheel required)
255/40/20or265/35/20 & 285/35/20 (9-9.5" wide wheel and 10-10.5" wide rear wheel)

19" your looking at:
255/35/19or265/35/19 & 275/35/19or325/30/19

Quick stock up on MPSS before they're all gone.

Dunna worry mate....Pirelli have the sizes you're after:lol::lol:

I don't know about the UK, but in Belgium running 255/35r19 or 265/35r19 would be illegal. Plus, that's just tiny.

On 19" I'd go for 275/35r19 and 325/30r19 as well.

On 20" I'd go for 265/35R20 and 285/35R20 or 255/35R20 and 305/30R20.

Either way, like you said... you're basically fucked if you want the PS4S and OEM wheels.

A Pzero is going nowhere near one of my cars ever again, I've had them on 3 different cars and the bloody same ZERO grip driving characteristics and nervous feeling on all those cars in anything but warm sunny weather.

If I get a car ever again with them on, I shall take straight off and post straight to you or I will just make a coffee table out of them.

255/35/20 and 305/30/20 would not work, the rolling radius is miles off and also the percentage difference between front to back could throw the TC/ABS systems out of wack. You need the 255/40/20 on the front if using the 305/30/20 rear.

Plus a 255/35/20 would look terrible, like a BMW rubber band style which does not suit a muscle car.

Let's wait until beginning of next year, maybe some market like Germany or the US will get other sizes and could match the OEM size ... :shrug:

255/35r20 has the same rolling radius as the stock 255/40r19, the diameter between 255/35r20 (27") and 305/30r20 (27.2") is only 0.7% and the sidewall of the rears would only be 0.1" taller than the fronts.

Looks like a match in heaven to me

e: I don't like the skinny tire BMW look on our cars either. Thats why I like 19"

Have I missed something? Are they stopping making MPSS?

Yes. The thread title gives a small hint.

So can I fit 275/35r20 on a front 10" wheel and 315/35r20 on a rear 11" wheel, also what difference does it make if the 315 is only designed for a Ferrari?
