    I have been trying to get a pair of 458 OEM-sized (295-35/20) Michelin PSS for almost a year. It is a major frustration. They have been back ordered since last April and none appear to be in the country. The fronts are available but not the rears. Dealing with Michelin corporate HQ just adds to the frustration. They cannot or will not say when they will be available.

    It is amazing that Michelin can develop and "market" a superior road performance tire, then not have a supply system up to providing it to customers.

    Has any Fchatter been able to get them or know how to get them?

    I should have mentioned that the tread specified should be "K1 Ferrari." Porsched treaded tires designated by "N" are available for the 911s.

    Have you tried authorized Ferrari Dealers? I am new to Ferrari in the last couple of years but a Porsche owner many times over since late '70s. There have been times over the years that tires have been in short supply so only released to Porsche dealers. Just a thought.

    Note that not only are you looking for the K1, it should also be the SL. The K1 XL in that size is the rears for the FF.
