This thread suggests Michelin Sport 4s tyres for the F Type all round, however my 3.0 S has 275/35x19 rear which Michelin do, however Michelin do not make a 4s in 245/40x19 …. Should I get Michelin Sport 4 all round or Michelin Sport 4s on the rear, and Sport 4 on the front????

Just switched to four Michelin PS4S after 23,000 miles on the Pirelli's.

Whilst the worn Pirelli's are a well known nightmare in the wet and cold, the Michelin's are also immediately better even in the 25C plus temperatures at the moment. Car feels more together somehow, grippier, it's also quieter and the ride is more compliant.

Mick,

Where did you get them fitted?
And, if you don't mind me asking, how much?

Through blackcircles and fitted at ATS Chichester. £880. (I think F1 Autocentre might be slightly cheaper at the mo). ATS book 1 hour time slots, so there was no waiting, nice people too and torque set properly etc. They probably get a few Jags and Aston's in as the main dealer is just across the road.
