C7 Z51 Michelin tires

I have a bad original rear tire on my 2016 C7 and I am thinking about replacing the complete set if there is a newer Michelin set available in run flats. I am confused about if they are available or about to come out.
Does anyone know for sure or does anyone have the Michelin numbers.
Thank You.

I just got a set of Pilot Sport A/S3+ on my non Z-51 on Monday. So far they seem to be excellent tires. They handled a WOT pull with no slipping at all. I got the non run flats, which were a bit cheaper. I got a full set for 964 with shipping. Those are my 2 cents.

It sounds as if you're talking about the new Michelin PS4S, which will ultimately replace the PSS. However, it's not available in runflat yet.

The link below lists all currently available choices in Z51 sizes.

If you want to save a few bucks, order before 3/1. Michelin tire prices are going up on 3/1.

Thanks everyone, I just ordered 4 new Michelin A/S3+ from my local tire guy. He also said there is a Michelin price increase coming around March 1.

Thanks again.

P4S is available 3/1. Same time Michelin price increase happens. Place your preorder now! As far as a runflat on the 4S, not completely sure but the 4S will take over the MPSS.
