Has anyone been able to find Michelin's for the 20" F90 wheels yet ? My tire dealer says it'll be awhile yet.

Bump.

Michelin is recommending a V rating in the front and a W rating in the back. Anyone who knows anything about tires knows you should NEVER do that.

If anyone has ordered winter Michelin Alpin PA4 tires please post here. Hope no one got sold the wrong tires.

I got Pirelli sotozero series 2 for my 20 inch rims
102 v and 104 v ratings should be fine. I don't plan on driving over 250 km/h for a long period.

I went for this square setup too. But got it from dealer as they matched internet price and promised a 2 to 3 week delivery.

Hi Just wondering why people are bothering with another set of 19" rims + 19" tires instead of just getting the tires?

No one makes W rated tires for front and back. Pirelli has V rated front and back and Michelin has V rear and W front

My summers are 20". Besides, changing tires on/off twice a year is a PITA.

Question - if you're never going to exceed the lower of either V or W ratings (<149mph), would it be ok to have this mixed configuration?
