Have you tested it on icy roads.. if there is such a thing in SeaTac area? Trying to figure out how I am going to manage the AS4s with our MYP here in Alaska. Supposed to take delivery in the next 2 weeks and it is really stressing me out that the only options are coughing up another $3500 for a set of winter tires+wheels.

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 on Uberturbines- 265/35 & 275/35R21
- Thread starter gundarx
- Start date
They’ve been fine for me in Denver and also in the mountains with snow. A bit of sliding here and there, but overall what I would expect and don’t feel the need to change them out.

The week we took delivery we got a foot of snow around here and a lot of ice, we managed up and down hills, had a winter kit in the car, and never needed the chains (note: expensive chains for the 21's that's for sure). Slow and easy.
I think for us we do a decent amount of winter sport - skiing and showshoeing - but it's always within a relatively safe approach from major plowed highway on and off-ramps to a state-run park or forest road close to the highway or ski resort... if we were going into a forest road we'd probably want real winter tires.

Any chance you can post a rear ass shot so I can see how wide the tires look on that rear

Here is a rear shot of 295 width tires (these are the Michelin PS AS4 295 40 21).Any chance you can post a rear ass shot so I can see how wide the tires look on that rear

I am in love with the bigger tires. Pic here. 265/40 & 295/40. Looks aggressive and smooths out the ride. No rubbing at full lock. No issues installing at Discount Tire. Plenty of space. No issues over bumps or steep driveways, etc. If the 35s aren't in stock, go to the 40s. If the 35s are in stock, I don't know if it makes that big of a difference.

Looks perfect now! 👌 What are you doing with the factory tires that it came with? Listing them for sale on Ebay? I have plans to do the same 265/40/21 & 295/40/21 as soon as I take delivery. I am just waiting to hear an update before I buy them. Maybe with all of these delivery and supply chain issues I had better secure a set now so I am ready to go. Who really knows what tires these new builds will come with in a month or two?
Looks great. I have the stock 275/35 and don't want to rebuy the whole set. Might just buy 295/35 for the rear and swap the rims onto them. Then I can sell the 255 fronts!

I sold my summer P-Zeros on Offerup within about 4 weeks. The guy had just taken delivery of a 7-seat MY and had purchased the 21" wheels from someone else, needed tires for them. Listed them for $800 and got $700. Probably easier to sell summer tires in winter here in SoCal, but if you price them to sell you should be able to find a buyer.
I sold the stock Michelins on here actually. Shipped them out to a super nice guy in the midwest. They were only up for a few days, but shipping was a bit of a hassle.

Yes, they do. I ordered a set for myself.
I went with 265/35 and 295/35 which were available within 2 days in the Bay Area (as of last Friday). Sounds like you really want the higher sidewall but given your choices are slim based on availability its something to consider
also stop yelling
