Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4
Looked on Tire Rack and discount tire and looks like these are out of stock. Discount Tire says theres a nationwide shortage.
Are there any other reliable sites or is there any comparable all season tires?
I have a trip from Northern VA to Columbus Ohio coming up and would like to get some all season/winter tires on.

^^ I have bought a set of these and they are sitting in my basement for when my OEM summer tires need to be replaced. While I don't drive mine in the winter, I find the spring/fall to be very tricky with summer tires. There has been a few times I went out for a drive in November and it was cold (dry) but you could tell the summer tires didn't have a good grip and I wasn't enjoying the experience. I know the summers will outperform the all season Michelin in the summer however, for how I drive mine, I am OK with that small loss in performance for the gains I'll make in April/May/October/November and early December.
Part of the reason I bought mine this summer was I had a good deal on them and I knew that they would only get more expensive and maybe would have to wait a while when I needed them

Just got into my '23 IS500, I live in Northern CA, where we honestly have the mildest of winters aside from rain.
I've had Michelin Pilot Sport 4S' on a '17 BMW M3 and felt fine driving in the rain. Curious if others would opt for a different tire right away, or just ride it out and swap tires down the road? How good are the Potenzas in the wet? Just normal commuting or long distance driving.
I've come form mostly AWD Audi's and BMWs so I've been spoiled with never really having to worry.

Totally agree. I'm holding off on replacing the LCA bushings until the stock tires are dead to speed up the process a bit. I wouldn't buy new tires though until the stockers are actually done.

Yes it is simply a waste of money to replace brand new tires because you don't like the name, sidewall logo, or bc its what ppl on the internet say to do.

The LCA bushings obviously have other benefits, too.

I think tires is all about where you live but ALSO, how you drive. I am not a super aggressive person and my driving is not at overly high speed or on highways so the Potenza are adequate for my use but I do have a set of michelin at home when the time comes to swap them...

Oh I remember the lovely smell of my brand new PS4S tires, purchased to replace the 4 month old Bridgestones.
Y’all who claim to be aggressive drivers can keep those raggedy things. 😈😂 I’d rather hook up off the line…

Just crossed the 20K mark with the original ties. I'm at 7/32 on the fronts and 5/32 on the rears. For those that have gone with performance all-seasons, do they have more traction than the Potenzas?
