Default Does anyone know if Michelin is making the PS4S Tires in 18'

So I've read plenty of articles praising the PS4S tire. I am also a bit annoyed that there is only 1 size for 18' wheels (and I really do not want to spend money on 19s. Wheels are quite expensive). I've tried to find articles about future tire sizes but wasn't able to find much other than the Pilot Sport 4 is released in 18' (And I don't think that is available in the US, and if it is I probably didn't see it), so does anyone have any information on whether or not they have plans to release this tire in 18'?

Of course if they aren't I'll just get PSS tires, now that the prices on them have dropped a lot since the release of the new tire.

I spoke to a Michelin rep a few months ago and was informed that we'll be seeing PS4S tires in other sizes including 18" sometime in 2018.

I thought the whole range of P4S tires in 18" were supposed to be released next year

This is good news. Thanks for letting us know.

This is what I was hoping for, but I didn't see any article indicating it. I'll go by redspencer's word though.
