Replacement for PSS in the rear?

abhishriv · 07-10-2015, 02:08 PM

I've been running Michelin PSS for past couple summers now and my rears are done. I'm running 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. Fronts still have about 60-70% left in them but looks like PSS in the 275 is backordered in all of north america.. what are my options here? can i replace the rears with a similar tread design? Conti ExtremeContact DW? Falken fx453?

What about 268 or 285?

msjt · 07-11-2015, 07:29 PM

PSS or bust. Potenza s04s are a good second option.

Petrolhead3010 · 07-11-2015, 10:43 PM

I have s04 Pole Positions, & love them! As mentioned above, second only to the PSS.

driverman · 07-11-2015, 11:26 PM

Agreed. S04s are great tires. Second only to PSS.

thanks all.. but i can't find anything close to the rear tire sizes for PSS .. looks north america back order and all vendors don't knoow when they will be in. even tire rack doesn't have them. i just need replacements for the rears.

All the tires below are offered in a 275/30R19 size and have a similar tread pattern and UTQG rating compared to the PSS.

Conti SportContact 2

Conti ExtremeContact DW

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric F1

I'm curious as well to when the 275 PSS will come back. Some very sad 359's are sitting naked right now.

called a whole bunch of places across north america and even tire rack said no ETA on the tires... michelin apparently hasnt produced any all year. and this is causing people like us to switch to other brands... and now those brands are also back ordered.

Why not 265s? They are only like 3 tenths of an inch different. I run a 245/265 combo on my car.

RE-11 is alive and well, and an outstanding performance tire. In addition it is a "beefier" tire like the PSS. The RE-71E is a different tire.

Damn, PSS were such a good tire I can't force myself to switch. But, I guess that time has come haha.

RE-11's are being discontinued and replaced with RE-71s
