So Michelin have discontinued a range of sizes here in Australia, including the 255/35r20 and the 255-265/35r19, basically any tyre suitable for the stock wheels or 19x9.5s.
If you couldn't get PS4S, what would you get?

Pirelli P zero all season would be my 2nd choice. Or another Michelin of similar quality.

I've heard good things about the Advan V601, though I don't have personal experience.

Stock size would be 245/30R20 right? You've listed larger than stock tires.

I listed the tire sizes the original starter of this thread mentioned.

Yes, the stock OEM tire size is 245/30R20. Continental does not make this size for the Extreme Contact Sport, they only have it in the 35 profile: https://www.continentaltire.com/product/extremecontact-sport-24535zr20-95y/?

A 35 profile is half a centimeter in sidewall thickness than the OEM 30 profile, which makes it a tiny bit larger than stock but you have increased comfort and lesser chances (but not guaranteed) of wheel damage from potholes on the road.

Im currently using the Advan Apex V601 from Yokohama...so far, Im loving it. Pretty quiet and composed for daily driving, and grippy and responsive when I'm getting a little aggressive.

I used to have P Zero Nero GTs on my Audi A3 and they were really good too, although not as grippy as I had thought. Though that may also be moreso the A3 platform.

Actually it will be quite a bit more than half a centimeter. Sidewall height is a percentage ratio of width. So a 35 series is 5% of the width taller than a 30 series tire. In the case of a 245 width, that equates to 12.25 mm, or 1.225 cm. Don't take my word for it though; check out this site for a great wheel/tire size calculator.

That said, I've seen a lot of folks run 245/35r20 with no issue on stock height.
