good luck finding them, I just tried to buy a set of PS4S and conti extreme contacts in 18's...they let me buy them then came back with a backorder notice as soon as they were paid for. Was told they're stuck in cargo ships off the coast and it will be 30-45 days.

Tire rack's site says they are in-stock, in their warehouse (or did yesterday), and they're generally very good about being correct about that.
Did you actually order from Tire Rack or somewhere else?

Discount tire told me the 4S were on back order last week. Had a sidewall picture. Replaced my set of original tires that had 20k on them. Went with Firestone Indy 500 245/45/18. Only had them on for a week but they are as quiet as the stock Michelin’s, ride great and look really good. $860 out the door as there was a $60 instant rebate. Summer only tire but I’m in GA and have the wife’s 2021 Q7 should winter weather be an issue.

any pictures of your ride with the 245 45 18 i wanted a little wider tire 255 40 18
that way I can keep the stock rims i had power coated satin black
Did you consider the Yokahama adven apex

I’ll take some pictures this weekend. Thought about the 255 but a few small things had me go with the 245: 255 are out of spec for the 8.5” aero’s and slight additional range loss as well. I also wanted slightly taller side walls to help fill the SR+ wheel well. I’m still most likely going to get the Tein coilovers when they come out but I don’t want to go too low.

I’m wrong about 255 being to wide. 265 is actually over the max width but gets you the right total diameter if you go with a 40 series sidewall. I now remember that’s what I was struggling with.

Went with the 255/40/18 Firestone Indy 500

All I can say is wow. Glue on the on ramps now with no role. Stock suspension

Before with the primacy I had to slow down and then accelerate out. lots of body role

Overall great ride, with a much wider stance

Will post more as i drive more. Best mod I have done yet hands down.

Can you still take right turns?

how much is the installation ?

It's was only $25 per tire, which mirrored a tire shop I got a quote from. Did it at work, didn't even have to take a long lunch or anything.

Tires have basically nothing to do with body roll. In fact, higher grip tires tend to increase roll as they generate more lateral G's.

I take canyon roads to work every morning
I am very happy in the transformation of this car with these new tires
Since safety score has been removed I have driven more aggressive and seen the limits
Yes it still has some role, but compared to my sons Model 3 with lowering springs and 4S tires, its more planted and just hauls ass
Love the ride and the look
I used to fly through the canyon with my old RX7 13B GSLSE, with lowered suspension, and this car is way more planted than that
Just too much fun right now
Compared to stock tires, no comparison, much better ride, Way better launch, and it corners great for my purposes. regen and braking are better.

Any pics? Looking to get 255/40/18 and have spacers on already with 1" drop.

Pro Tip: The Pilot Sport 4 NON S has been available and has 99% the same dry grip, and better rolling resistance by a decent margin. Can be a nice alternative.

Where did you find them? I can't seem to fine PS4 tires anywhere in the US anymore. How much were they?
