Tyres help!?Michelin ps4 have disappeared?

[djmesh]

Hi
I have done a lot of research and I think PS4's are the best tyre for the 290 , however it appears at the moment nobody can get any? tried loads of retailers, can anybody help? or suggest an alternative that is as good and is readily available?

Thanks

Oh-oh. This is the start. Loads of factories closed, supply chains not operating. Shelves are going to start emptying :0(

Camskill seem to have them - doesn’t say they’re not in stock.

If you have 18” wheels and your tyres are 225/40 R18’s with a Y speed rating, they’re available for same day despatch;

Or if you’ve got 19” wheels they’ve also got them for same day despatch in 235/35 R19 size with Y speed rating;

never heard of camskill?are they legit?

Yes, been around for years but you have to remember that they only supply. You'll still need to find a garage to fit them, many won't fit tyres they haven't supplied themselves so check with them first. You may find they'll prefer to buy them in for you as it means they can make a bit of money to cover the risks.

yeah that's my worry, but your Halfords, f1 autocenter, kwikfits are saying they can't get this tyre !!??

Different supplier/stocking procedure, bigger names sold out quicker? Used camskill many times but can fit myself.

Black circles also show availabilty which isn't surprising given that they're owned by Michelin.

Definitely legit. I’ve used them before. Some small independent garages are happy to fit tyres from the likes of Camskill, so worth making a few enquiries in your area.

My preference would always be to buy my tyres from somewhere like Camskill and get a trusted local independent garage to fit them, rather than use someone like Kwik Fit who have a reputation on many forums of damaging alloys when removing and fitting tyres. Some alloy wheel refurbishing companies offer a tyre fitting service. They should have the skill and some of the ‘safest’ tyre changing equipment to fit tyres, as they’ll be putting tyres on newly refurbished wheels all the time.

Tyres pneus on line also have good stock. Excellent company. Used them before . They have been on the go for 20 plus years .

Use blackcircles as had been mentioned. They offer fitment at a local place too

 

[SRGTD]

Tyre Leader also have PS4’s and their business model is similar - if not the same - as Black Cirlces; you choose your tyres and pick your preferred fitting centre. They have them in stock too.

If you want a alternative to the PS4S the Goodyear Eagle F1 supersport is good.
If you want a alternative to the PS4 the Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 5 are good I have the asy 5 on my FR and love them.

I'm assuming you mean PS4Ss are the best tyres for the Cupra, not PS4s.

As @sweetfr said, you may want to consider the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport, or the Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
