Cannot seem to find any real info (mind you limited research as to where to look) on Michelin PS4S and PS5S in UK for 2014 Vantage on 245 and 285 tyres.

Should I just get PS5s for the front and hope PS5S
are availability early next year.

Anyone have any insight ?

It's a well-trodden path. Some information in this thread

https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

but the short answer is you can't get front-to-rear matching PS4's or PS4S's for the later 245/285 Vantage in Europe. Which is why I'm on Conti SportContact 6's

PSS5's (as they are now called) are currently only OEM, I believe

Mine is currently on PS4 front and PS4S rears and seems to behave well, although I haven't really pushed it too hard just yet.

According to james at DAE the 245/40 in PS4S is only available to the USA so we're stuck with having to mismatch.

PS4 on front and PS4S rear on my car too.

I can renew the front with same 245 tyre but should I go PS4 as it keeps both on 4 series tyre or move to PS5
And cross fingers that PSS5 are available next year when rears will need changed …choices choices !

Am I really going to notice the difference …..
