Default Michelin PS4S TVk add - White LC

Anybody seen the latest Michelin TV add featuring a White LC shod with PS4S tires I can't find it on the web Of course the LC doesn't come from the factory equipped with the PS4S tires

What's funny is that site says the car is a BMW 328i

The wheels aren't stock either. Looks like 22". The tires have Michelin's Premium Touch sidewall. A sidewall design that I am not really found of. My PS4S tires have the regular sidewall design


BTW, in the sizes I use (255/40/21 and 295/35/21) those sizes are OEM. Fronts are OEM for BMW, the rears are OEM for Mercedes. The front BMW tires are actually specd better the regular PS4S tires in that they have a tri-rubber compound vs bi-compound on non-OEM PS4S.

Absolutely not 22-inch wheels. They look undersized for the wheel wells too. Also, they only make the 305/30/22 size tires in the PS4S. I had to buy Pilot Super Sports for the fronts in 265/35/22.

I guess I was looking the sidewall at it appeared to be a low ratio, so I assumed 22" But, Color me confused I went too both the Michelin and TireRack websites and could not find a listing for the PS4S in a 305/30/22 size. But, I could find 265/35/22.

OK this is weird, they did get me the PSS tires from the shop. They told me they could only get the PS4S fronts and PSS rears... Sorry for the confusion. Either way, I had to switch to Pirellis since Michelin doesn't make the sizes I need.

Also, I'm convinced they sized the tires down in the TV ad.
