Firemission: contact Michelin to ask for PS4S in GT350 sizes

[Spart]

I asked Michelin a few times about when the PS4S will be available in the GT350 (non-R) stock sizes, and this was their last reply:

Obviously this sucks for those of us who want to keep using Michelin tires in the stock sizes.

I definitely don't want to go to a 30 series tire because that will lower the car even more, and the splitter already scrapes on everything.

If enough of us contact Michelin, perhaps they'll reconsider. Go here and click the yellow "email us" link:

Here's an example message to send them:

Can you give an estimate on when the Pilot Sport 4S will be available in 295/35R19 and 305/35R19? I am aware the Pilot Super Sport is available in this size, I specifically want to know when the Pilot Sport 4S will be available.​

Feel free to personalize to your liking.

I'm running the Pilot 4S 305/30/19 tires on my R on all 4 corners (stock wheels) with no issues. I've not seen a big difference re: more contact/rubbing on the front splitter. You should be able to do the same on the non-R if you are not concerned about an exact match.

They're still producing the MPSS...

Why not send it to Ford? They’re the ones that didn’t requalify for an updated tire and selected a brand new 35 profile Sport Cup 2, while leaving the PSS in use. I wish I understood sales to an auto mfg like a Ford, but I assume Michelin doesn’t move without their say-so. Doesn’t make business sense.

These threads keep popping up for the MP4S, glad it has fans, but the next step seems like email bombing Jim Hackett.

For now. How long until it's discontinued?

A couple of things. One, Michelin sells these tires to anybody. Not just Ford and not just anybody with a GT350 - they sell them to anybody. If there's demand, it stands to reason they should produce them.

Two, the SC2 is a 200 treadwear tire and I and many others don't want to replace tires that often.

Exactly! Not at $1743 a set! Also, Tire Rack includes a free 2-year road hazard on the SS's and nothing on the SC2's...

No idea, but I'd imagine they'll continue producing those tires as long as they are selling. There's a TON of options in the 305/30/19 sizing.

I love my Continentals, but I will admit I would have stuck with a PSS if they had a 305/30 and 325/30 (or even better a 315/30) combo!

Have a pic of how low the car is on the 35 series profile?

It's at factory ride height, but the splitter on these cars sticks out quite a bit past the wheels and is decently low, making for an abysmal approach angle.

Firemission! You know how to get a 13B's attention.
