Michelin PSS on OEM size
I'm pretty sure it's just $100 off a purchase of $400 or more, as it doesn't matter how many tires need to be purchased. I've helped a few friends with new tires this way, and the savings sure add up. This deal comes relatively on occasion, and it varies by brands and sizes. But essentially to make this a good deal...say for instance you're purchasing Michelin PSS. Two tires will already be over $400, so purchase, say the 2 front tires for $530 (stock size, PSS) the amount will be $430 after instant rebate. Do this again for a second transaction on the rear tires, which will come out to $500, so it'll cost you $400. $830 for $1k PSS tires isn't a bad deal. It might not be a lot, but $200 can get you a decent amount of gas fill ups, detailing supplies, or even a track day with your F.
Again, the key is to make sure the deal is for PSS, which it may not be. Discount Tire/ America Tire varies its promotions, so as a consumer, pay attention to the deals that you want. Plus, there is no shipping or taxes applicable, unlike purchasing from say a Tire Rack or even in person at a Discount Tire store. Tires aren't cheap, but getting them at a slightly lower rate will help.

According to the site, Michelin PSS in 225/40-19 is not available for the promotion right now, but PSS in 255/35-19 is still available for purchasing. You would need to purchase two, use the coupon code for this current promotion, and have it all streamlined through PayPal. It's a bit tricky, but if at any point you don't see the $100 off your total, do NOT confirm the order.

It will only be a specific set of tire widths or manufacturers.

Kind of pricey without the discount if you ask me.

I'm interested to know this as well. Just about to pull the trigger on new tires and will be going the 245/275 PSS route.
Also, how much heavier is the steering feel with the 245/275 setup. On my G coupe I have this exact setup for summer and when I go back to stock 225/245 in the winter it's almost nice to have the light steering feel back and the responsiveness of the narrower tires. But the F really needs the extra meat to put the power down.

I'm curious--how come no one has mentioned a 235/40/19 and 265/35/19 set up?
It interesting because this would be a compromise between stock and 245/275, and on the 08-11 wheels it might still keep a bit more of the wrapped look.
Also, in this scenario, each tire is only 0.3" greater in diameter than stock.
Lastly, on Tirerack, there is a PSS 265/35/19 listed as NO Porsche that actually has the same treadwidth as the 275 PSS--must be a more square tire--and this tire is a Best Seller and actually the cheapest of all the 265/35 PSS variants.
Thoughts? I feel like if I had the 2012+ wheels I would do the 245/275, but on 2011 wheels these sizes might be a perfect compromise.

There is plenty of meat with the 285/30 out back, even with the 255/35. But depending on the size of the wheel, I would attempt 295/30. When I saw you yesterday, we briefly discussed the wheels. So if the sizing permits, I'd go with 295s. It keeps it in line with the stock parameters of the OEM tire set up. Michelin PSS is probably the best bang for your buck, although others will have their preference as well.
Great meeting you yesterday, my friend!

255/295 is the same OD ad oem. Thats why I went with that when I did aftermarket set up. I dont like the way the 245/275 makes the fender gap look bigger to me. Its subtle but I notice .

great meeting you as well sexy, oops, i meant Brian lmao. i'll definately consider a 295/30 when i replace the tires. i'm not sure of the width of the rims or the offset, but i have no rubbing other than the front when i backed into the driveway and turned the wheel full radius. i'll probably powder coat the wheels, thinking of black chrome. anyone your recommend? i'll measure the wheel at that time and see if a 295/30 will work, otherwise i'll go 285/30.
As for the powdercoating, many friends have taken their wheels to Primo Powder Coating in Huntington Beach. It might be a little far, but having seen the results, their work appears to be top notch.
Definitely take a look see at the wheel specs. With 295s, you'll probably need a mild roll just to keep from rubbing on hard dips.

lol The gf was just happy that another girl didn't call me that, though I kinda like seeing that defensive side of hers from time to time.
