where to buy Michelin Pilot Sports

[vprdude]

I got my Michelins for the back from elitedirect.com last fall. I'm looking for the Pilot Sports for the front, but they don't have them and can't even order them from anybody! Any idea what shops I could order from? partsrack.com in the States has 'em, but then there's the shipping and customs charge... thanks

I've brought Pilots from the states a few times, Partsrack is the cheapest they under cut tirerack.com though Pilots are quite expensive now, even with the good exchange rate

not sure about the UK, demon tweeks, costco have supplied other members in the past

If you have 18' wheels, why dont you try the Toyo R888's instead, a vastly superior tyre to the Pilots, which I have now fitted to 3 of my cars. I use the Toyo's for competition and road use, and even as a wet tyre for the CC. They seem very durable and they warm up quickly and certainly offers massive grip for a road legal tyre.

I've heard about the Toyos. But again, where would I get them from? partsrack.com? or do you get them somewhere here in the UK? I got brand new Michelins iin the back, so would have to stick to Michelins for the front as well, unless I change all four of them...

viper sized toyos dont seem to be available in the states yet, they look good not sure how many miles to a set, youd have to take it easy if you got caught in the rain

Try Costco - they exclusively supply Michelin tyres. I got a full set of 4 PS2's last year for £800 including 20% off on a deal they were doing...
