New PSS 4S for our Vettes!!
I decided to check the Michelin site today to see if they had and update on the PSS 4 tires. And the update looks very good for sizes that we like! I see sizes for standard corvette and for Zr1 and 19" 20" setup for GS and Z06. They are all coming soon but good to see sizes. And I dont see anything about them being run flat. Cant wait for these to be released Now the question is WHEN??
But I dont see a size for the 18 front Z wheel

From what I saw on Michelin's website they DO NOT come in OEM Zr1 sizes.

These are surprising responses to me. I didn't realize the there are actually people that want run flats!
And yes you are correct they are not "OEM" ZR1 sizes. You would have to step up your rear from a 335 to a 345. That's well within spec so it wont mess with any of the handling systems.
I personally didnt buy mich tires because they were RF. in the PSS

PSS 4 does not come in a 285/30 either for the front. The 345 size tire has incorrect aspect ratio;345/30 vs 345/25 OEM or it would fit.

Are these going to be replacement tires for the PSS? What's the advantage of the PS4's over the PSS tires?
Edit: Answered my own question. Yes these will replace the PSS. I read the reviews on the obove link....impressive!

I've been burned twice with Michelin discontinuing models (XGT+ and XGT-Z) and was stuck 3 tires <2500mi with the 4th having a sidewall puncture and no replacement to be found in the country.
I'll probably go with the new non ZP tire and carry a small tire repair kit rather than use my AAA.
