Many of the reviews on it are actually for the 4S, which makes that whole section worthless because if someone doesn't know there's a difference between the two how would their opinion on either actually matter?

Worse, Toyota won't start taking orders for the GR86 until October most likely, and delivery will be 4-8 weeks after that. Around here, that's distinctly "not summer".

Does anyone know what the glass transition temperature on these tires is? (EDIT: I will be getting the Premium with the 18" wheels and better tires, which is why I'm talking about the PS4 and not the other option.)


I'd been looking forward to getting to drive this car before winter hit, but now it's looking like I'll have to wait for spring to really enjoy it.

Thoughts? Ideas? Recommendations?

Just checked on Tire Rack's website and they have the 2022 GR86 Premium with MICHELIN: PILOT SPORT 4 Max Performance Summer
