Help no Michelin
So it turns out there are no 20" Michelin PSS tyres available in Australia for the rear of my car.
The P-Zeros are trying to kill me. What else can I try?
Only ones I can find are ContiSport Contact. Are they any better than the P-Zeros

As I've mentioned on this Forum numerous times, I have Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06's - Ultra High Performance All Season tires - and I love them. So much that I don't even bother swapping back into my summer tires.

You may not be able to find them as they have been replaced my Michelin and are no longer called PSS. Can't remember the new designation but you should be able to search it on this site.
I currently have PSS tires and they are really good, and when worn out I will be going with the new Michelin.

Michelin Pilot Super Sport was replaced with the Pilot 4S. I have the 4S on my 'R' and love them. I had the PSS on my Ferrari and thought those were awesome... 4S are more awesome. You should get 4 wheel alignment after putting the new tires on. My alignment was off and I feel contributed to the tail wagging of the F-Type R. Car is much more planted now and the back doesn't fishtail on quick launches.

Plenty of threads and posts here about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S vs the PSS, and how the 4S is much better.
When my crappy P-Zeros wear a bit more I'll be getting 4S, but last time I looked no-one in Oz stocks the 4S in 20" F-Type sizes.
Not to worry, I always intended to get them from Tire Rack in the good ol' US of A anyway, waaay cheaper than getting them in Oz even if they were available, even taking into account the crappy exchange rate and the cost of shipping. I've purchased several sets of tyres over the years from Tire Rack and their service has always been very good.
So Andrew, after all that, get a set of Pilot Sport 4S from Tire Rack!

So you buy them from Tirerack. Do you have them shipped to your home? And you reckon it's worth it?

With shipping to my door the only hassle is then getting them to the tyre fitters, but you should be able to arrange with your preferred tyre fitter & Tire Rack to have the tyres shipped direct to them.
