Tire help, 19x10/11 for autocross

[HopfibreSn]

Hi all, I picked up the SVE R350 wheels 19x10/11. I'm trying to decide which tire size to go with, I would like to stick with the Michelin PS4. The car is a daily while seeing an autocross course every month or two. the two setups I'm considering are

(1) Fronts 285/35/19 (26.9'' diameter) , Rear 325/30/19 (26.7'' diameter).

(2) Fronts 295/30/19 (26'' diameter), Rear 305/30/19 (26.3'' diameter). Here I like that the fronts are wider than the first option.

Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

285 front, 305 rear. Camber plates.

I've heard there can be fitment issues with a 295 front. You should stick with a 285, otherwise you may need a small 3mm spacer.

Also ps4s are pricy, look into a cheaper alternative and consider a separate autox set.

Consider the Firehawk as it's over $100 cheaper per tire compared to the Michelin

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried purchasing the PS4 and no one has them. One vendor claimed that the PS4 were no longer in production. I looked through most of the main online vendors and so far have no luck. I may consider the Firehawks.

PS4 is a game console. Pilot Sport 4S is a tire, and it does look like there’s a shortage right now. I wonder if its china related?

Michelin wouldn't be caught dead making their good tires in Chicom. Now it's possible some of the precursors (thread, rubber) could be impacted. The supply issue likely has much more to do with it's cold is most of the world, why ship new summer tires only for them to rot for 3 months in a cold warehouse. Plus I'm sure there is a deliberate effort to starve the supply chain so the old tires are sold thru so come April(?) it's all fresh manufacture.
