Thanks, but I've called 10 tire dealers in my area and the problem isn't them, it's Michelin, they don't have any in the warehouse or in production.

Simply Tire gave me a better price on a set of Super Sports than Consumers.
Just saying....

I just got my Michelin PSS K2 a month ago 315/35/20 (2) and 285/35/20 (2) aswell. Kal Tire was able to locate me a set but said they had a hard time and the guy used a couple of his connection to get them plus at a wonderful price. So wish ya the best at finding them until Michelin does another production run. Wish I was more help.

I have the stockers for now. Ill be grabbing a set of michelin pss off them once they are worn out. The owner of consumers is one of my best friends, so i get some amazing prices out of them. They sell a lot of michelin, but dont stock much performance stuff (cause its expensive and takes long to sell). He doesnt deal with the public much and the front guys can't do as much as he can. Pm me and i can give you his contact info, he claimed he could order me a set a few weeks ago. But if there is a shortage your screwed. Gotta hope someone has em sitting around, kal tire would be my best guess as they sell more tires than most of the industry.

I'm not sure what ill get if i cant get the pss, either hankook ventus, stockers or bf goodrich supercomps as last resort. I wish i could get yokohama for this car! I might just mismatch axles and get a set of nittos or michelin sport cups. The rears don't seem to last long anyway

I had the original P-zeros, replaced them with Conti-DWS and have been extremely happy. My car is a DailyDriver. I don't take it out in the snow generally, but I do take it out in the winter when the roads are dry. I personally feel these are at least as good as the Pzeros on good weather days, but the DWS are amazing in the rain and wet roads.

I asked them for some prices to replace my rear P Zeros (315 35 20).

Here is what they offered:

Continental Extremecontact DWS06 $395 each
Continental Extremecontact DW $430 each
Michelin Latitude Diamaris $485 each
Toyo Proxes 4 - $485 each

Only the Conti DW is in the same class of tires as the P Zero. The Conti DWS & Toyos are all-season tires. The Michelins are truck tires.

When I asked about Pilot Super Sports, P Zeros or Potenza S007s they said "no stock anywhere".

I asked if there was any info regarding when they would be available and haven't received a response yet.

I just got a new set of Pzero, sorry but I like them. I got them from Tireset.ca
Their price was $350 less than any local shop.
Received the set within a week, great online option for the canucks.

Update:

I ended up getting a pair of Continental Extremecontact DW 315/35ZR20s from Rez Boyz. Best price by far...and I tried everywhere. There are no Michelin Pilots or Pirelli P Zeros in that size available anywhere right now.

They took care with the mounting and I'm very happy with the service. Shop was busy and the other folks that I talked to were all amazed at the prices they were getting.

It was a bit of a drive for me but the weather was nice and it was well worth it.

to Rez Boyz.

90K???? WTF?!? I'm only at $50k and I'm due for my 3rd set of rears!!!






Unless you have the good fortune of working for a dealer, the best practice when buying tires in Canada is to pull your pants down, bend over and grab you ankles.
