Those MPS4s are pricey. Nearly $800 for a set of 225/45 and nearly $900 for a set of 245/40. I'm thinking I will probably end up with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. They have amazing reviews and are $300 cheaper.

I've read it is the "successor" to the PSS which may explain why he is having difficulty finding sizes.

I love my PS4S's (245/40/17). I've been longingly looking at them stacked in my condo since October. Spring is just around the corner...

My co-worker has these and they never seem to wear out.

Ok, I thought we were discussing Michelins. Guess I didn't get you were asking what a good tire at a good price would be. I would have suggested those!

Another tire you can try is Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 they aren't expensive at all compare to Michelin at least here in Canada.

I suck at most of the other ones. Especially the fine arts and literature. It's sad.

I do just barely OK in them although I do not have the faintest idea how I know anything at all about arts or the literature they talk about.
