Michelin PS4S is what most people go for. They can be difficult to get hold of on some sizes. I asked the guys at my local ATS, this week, and they told me to order with a fitting date of 31 August as the next stock delivery is expected then. They would have ordered for me, but said it was massively cheaper to do it online.

I've not seen anything about the 'S' version of the new PS5 in 20" F type sizes yet.

You'll get very few endorsements to by the oem Pirelli's and a page full for the PS4S...
Have a search as there are lots of detailed threads on here on this topic

My view is that OEM tyres are more about the marketing and pricing offered to JLR than being the right tyre. Of course some manufacturers have enough volume to create bespoke tyres, but not really JLR

Thanks, I've looked, and it's easier to get 2653020 and 3053020 in PS4s not the standard sizes at the moment.

You're right, but his 20 was the tyre diameter - he's used 30 as the profile.

The aspect (profile) ratio doesn't change when using the wider tyres for 20" wheels. It's still 35 for the front and 30 on the rear.

I think Timbo was correcting to match the stated 265/30R20 on the front. But 35 front and 30 rear does sound like a better option.

No ps4s at all at the moment so going to probably go for goodyear f1 supersports.
