New Tire in OEM Size - Michelin Pilot Sport 5!

Places that don't maintain their inventory are the worst to deal with.

If a site can't maintain their stock, just don't deal with'em. There are plenty of other fish in the sea.

Every time I hit a pothole, my oem size Pilot AS4 got a bubble. Every time I called Costco for a replacement, there was a 2 week wait to get that one tire in to replace... prorated... with crazy wait times and the worst customer support.

I stick to America's Tire / Discount Tire now.

My Dad & Brother have had issues with what my Dad refers to as "weak sidewalls" and thus have avoided further purchases of their products. I haven't had any Michelin car tires myself. I buy their motorcycle "Pilot Road" (they later dropped the "Pilot" and just call them "Road") tires however and with some exception have had steller performance out of'em. Car tire brands I now avoid are Yokohama and Cooper. Horrible experiences with both.

Great to know, that's exactly what I was hoping for.

I am happy that they do actually exist in this land for those wanting/needing the OEM size.

Given Michelin, and their proclivity to ONLY make huge sizes available for high end cars and SUVs, I had my (serious) doubts before these members actually had them on their rides.
