Default Where to buy tires.

I'm looking for a set of Pilot Sport 4 All Seasons. At first I could find rears, but they didn't make the fronts, now I can find fronts but no rears. Anyone have any suggestions on where to get any? I've looked at tire rack and discount tire. Discount tire had some but the date codes were already a little over a year old.

Cyber Monday deals currently at SimpleTire, Discount Tire, Costco....

Do some homework.
If you find the part number of the tires you want, any local tire shop could give you a price.

I got my last set of winter tires at Simple Tire 2 years ago... they will tell you local installers, too.

I have bought all my tires for almost 18 years at Discount Tire. I try to shop around to beat their prices but rarely have and when I do they still will beat it. Even when Costco has their sales they still don't get any lower that I have seen than the sale prices at Discount.

Got mine at Costco. Good price, new equipment, and the guys in the shop loved the car and took good care of it.

BTW, their on-line catalog didn't show the rears available - but a conversation in person at the store got past that.

OP, you've mentioned Tirerack, and they've always been able to supply me with PS2's and then PS4S's. The site is listing availability for Michelin all seasons front and rears, at least for a V8S, so it shouldn't be a problem. I've normally used Tirerack's installer referral service to have a mobile installer come out and do the actual install. I know the team that has serviced my car, and those of some family members, can source tires locally if for some reason Tirerack can't get the tires shipped on a unusual deadline.

Costco's are hit or miss for sports car tire availability.

I called Tire Rack looking for a set of Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4 tires. They have the fronts in stock, the rears are on backorder with no production scheduled for over 60 days. I then contacted Michelin & they confirmed this as well. I wish you the best of luck in your quest. In the end I purchased a set of Continental DWS 006 Plus to use in the cold weather.

Just 2 weeks ago I was also looking for the Michelin A/S. The rears (20") are the issue and got the same response from Michelin. I did find some on Ebay, but they disappeared and then in Canada. I did finally find some locally at Costco. They only had them because a customer that had ordered the wrong size. They were great with changing them and even gave me some advice. TyreReview likes the Bridgestone A/S well.

Costco has a current deal. I've always used Discount Tire as they match every price except Costco and have 6-12 month interest free. Also have lots of locations.
