Default New Size Michelin Pilot Super Sport 265/35ZR19

I have received many questions from anxious Lexus ISF owners wanting to know when the Michelin Pilot Super Sport will be offered in the rear fitment 265/35ZR19. We have finally received a date from Michelin and expect the 1st delivery to our warehouses around 10/31/11.

Any chance that they will also introduce a 235/40?

Very unlikely as this is an uncommon size, if you want wider in the front with the Michelin Pilot Super Sport use 245/35ZR19 fits OE wheel and no rubbing issues.

Default What a Tire...

Well just a bit of an update!!! I have had the tires for several months, and had limited LONG distance driving on them. I was only able to test them in the local canyons and the tires GRIP well and the car is surefooted and quiet of road noise as ever.

This weekend I finally had the chance to drive long distance on these tires from L.A. to San Francisco. INCREDIBLE, the increase in gas mileage was very noticeable and well worth spending the extra monies on these tires.

THere is no question in my mind, when the rears wear out I will be replacing them with the SS. Great tire....thank you Michelin

Zig, as you know, I am one that very much wants the Pilot Super Sport in this size. My new wheels will be in the week of October 5th. Is there any way to get a set of these early? TIA,

Would be nice if Tire Rack had a few after market wheel options for the F, 19" or 20" OZ are the only option and most are aroudn $1,000.00 a wheel.

I am sure there are lots of other options i.e. 18" and other brands but would take some work to put together ET etc.

We can put an order in place to ensure you get some from the 10/31 delivery but I have no way to get these any earlier from Michelin.

The 10/31 arrival date for this tire is being modified by Michelin, I'll update when I know a firm ETA.

Zig,

Are we to assume this is a delay in the delivery date rather than a pleasant surprise?

This size will it fit the 08 OEM wheel?
