The first person I know who tested the Bridgestone S-04 Pole Position said they Are much better than the PS2s both in ride and grip. You can see the post on the F10 forum at bimmerfest.

Right now, it looks like my wheels will be ready about the same time Michelin is saying deliveries will start. Hopefully, I get lucky, but usually I'm not....

Eagerly awaiting your report on testing these tires on your personal vehicle. Appreciate the updates.
I have had them on the 2010 EVO MR-T about 1 week now, so far they have been great. I am noticing a great ride quality to performance ratio here as well as excellent wet traction. I haven't had them at their dry limit yet, so I will report on that as soon as it quits raining..

I do see them available in several size combos for the IS-F.

Thanks, Brandon. Just what I wanted to hear and what I expected given my PS2 experiences. My wheels are ordered, so just waiting for delivery. Can you tell me if the Pilot Supersport comes in 265/35/19? I see 265/30s, but not the 265/35. I need the 265/35s to match my 305/30s in the rear. TIA,

You could use 255/35 or even 275/35 if you feel you have the room.

The height of the 265/35/19 and the 305/30/19 is exactly the same. This is important to me with the way I will have the car set up. Will the 265/35 become available? TIA,

Sorry, I don't think they will be making that size in that tire.

I am about to replace my OEM Bridgestone Turanza(20,200 miles right now) on stock rims soon. I am very interested in Michelin Pilot Super Sport, and a set of four are listed for $1,010 on tirerack.com. I might wait until my car reaches 22,000 miles to get them.

I'm also going between PS3s and Supersports and noticing the size issues in some cases....Seems 245/40/19 comes in Supersport but not PS3?

I'm also waiting to read reviews from luxury sport sedan owners....

That's unfortunate, as it seems to me the 265/35 has always been more available (popular) than the 265/30. I guess I better come up with a Pilot Supersport Plan "B"....

Thought you guys might be interested in a write-up one of our road racers on Supraforums posted up about the PSS. One of the cars used in the test was an IS-F. Enjoy: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...ot-Super-Sport.

Still noticing size issues...looking for 20s....and there is no 275/30/20 but 285/30/20... and there is no 245/35 or 30/20 front, there is 255/35/20 front..

smh this is kind of ticking me off, the 2GS needed tires and replaced the PS2s with PS A/S partly b/c the Super Sports were not ready. Now I would like them in 20s but size issues...
