    My local dealer claims that the stock rear tires "295/35/20XL 105Y" Michelin Pilot Super Sports are either discontinued or on indefinite back-order. They want me to switch to a Pirelli tire which would mean changing all four tires instead of just the two back ones that are worn out.

    Does anyone know where I can source a set of original new tires?

    I believe (i.e. stand to be corrected) that FNA (and ergo, dealers) use Tire Rack as their source for all OEM tires. When I ordered Sottozeros from Tire Rack for our FF, I had to provide a VIN and get verification from our dealer parts manager. (was told it was to protect the supply for this limited supply size).

    Aside from a small on-hand "emergency flat replacement" supply, the couple dealers I know order from Tire Rack under an OEM agreement of sorts.

    I was also told that Michelin do not supply the PSS in these sizes, PZeros are the primary supply in these sizes.

    Keep us posted, curious as to what Tire Rack says. They are the best

    Super Sports don't stick ANYWHERE good enough compared to PZero's. I have had both on a Cali. The Sports are far worse! Possibly they get better after a few laps on a track but for normal driving the Super Sports suck, they last really long but still suck. Sports are worse. Get th PZeros, you will replace them more often but you will have much more fun, much safer.

    ive liked the michs over the pirellis on some other cars but i agree the pirellis do a great job on the FF.

    does bridgestone make a tire for these things?
