Tyre Sizes Issue

Kevs F Type · Post by **Kevs F Type** » Fri Jul 06, 2018 3:35 pm

Looking at a previous thread, the 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 they 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????

Is there other alternatives?

Any help appreciated

Maybe call Michelin to see what they advise?

I'm no expert, but the Michelin PSS I've had on previous cars have been so much better than Pirellis

@AsifG - why do you think the M's are better? I'm soon to need new boots and am looking for advice....

My previous cars have been a 997 and an RS4, and both had Pirellis initially and then changed to Michelins. I found the Michelins to be much "grippier" and I felt much more confident to attack a corner at speed (I do a lot of trips to the Alps, Wales, Scotland etc). The Pirellis were definitely softer and wore out quicker and just felt less assured, especially in damp conditions.
