Pilot Super Sports are backordered forever.

The Conti Extremecontact DW is also a great tire. Many forum members also have good things to say about Bridgestone S04s.

I like mine! Although next time hopefully PSS aren't sold out or I'll pick up a set of cup 2s for fun.

275/35ZR20 is the tire you need to pick.

The 275's are only 0.3" taller overall than stock, which mean your car would be 0.15" high off the ground if you compared brand new 265's to brand new 275's.

Additionally, the 275's are rated to fit the 9" wide wheels, give you a little more sidewall bulge with better wheel/rim protection, not to mention a hair more cushion to help prevent tire sidewall bubbles the 265's seem to be known for.

If you have some other concern about going with 275's over 265's, please post your questions before you choose a lesser quality tire.

I have Michelin Pilot sports on my car, have been beating the crap out of them for 12,000 miles, and I have a staggered fitment. I still have 50% tread remaining on the edges up front, and 70% of tread down the middle, with 60% overall in the rear. These tires are awesome, ride smooth, balance wonderfully, don't have the cold tire flat spot syndrome cheaper tires have, and obviously, wear very well.

Exact model and brand that I had on a square 20x9.5" setup, but that was short lived, as I dropped back to 19" tires on light weight wheels for improved handling.

BRIDGESTONE POTENZA S-04 are the closest things to the PSS, and is what I'm currently running due to the PSS shortage. I had Conti DW and while they are a great all around tire, they are not nearly as grippy as the PSS and S04's.

I'm running S-04's as well... I get them cheap since I work for Bridgestone, but am extremely pleased with these tires. Dry and wet weather traction are a huge improvement..

Huge doesn't imply that they won't break loose, but they don't nearly as often as the other crap the car came with.

I wish they offered these tires in wider choices in the 20" size. 285/305.

[MENTION=13202]kn7671[/MENTION] I mean...OK, aside from the exact size...you have this same tire? (Seems to be several Pilots with verrrry similarly-worded names; i.e. 'XL' or 'A/S' which I later learned about). The ones you are extremely happy with and beat up? ;)

Because these appear to be in stock!

Correct, Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

[MENTION=13202]kn7671[/MENTION] Thank you for the advice. I ordered these today and am having them shipped to my dealership (they are good to me) for installation next week.

I don't believe these tires can be found anywhere else at this point.

Nice! You won't be disappointed.
