The 4S is the replacement for the PSS and is meant to out-do it in every way, especially in the wet.
If anyone is interested, I ordered 265/30R19 and 235/35R19, and with the conversion rate, shipping costs, and then VAT deduction off both purchase and shipping, the total came to GBP828, or around NZD1,450. Obviously there's GST to pay on arrival, and $30 a tyre fitting costs at this end, but overall I'm pretty excited about getting hold of them.
They're meant to be really light tyres too, so any additional weight of the 19's will be partially offset anyway.
For reference, I weighed the Avant Gardes over the weekend - the front 19x9" weighed 11.9kg and the rear 19x10s weighed 12.5kg. Stock M193 wheels weigh 11.23kg and 11.93kg respectively, so only a reasonably small increase.

Hey KiwiRD, can you let me know where you purchased your tyres from overseas? Cheers
