Tire Brand help! 255/30-20 (Front) & 305/25-20 (Rear)

My 20" wheels should be ready in about 4 weeks so now I'm on the hunt for some tires. Looking for recomendations for 255/30-20 (Front) & 305/25-20 (Rear). I inquired about the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S but they dont' have my sizes and may not until Spring 2018. Should I go with the Michelin Super Sports then? Thanks

You sure you want a 25 series sidewall? I have 315/25/20 and wish I had a 30 I can almost feel every rock or variation in the road

I've been running PSS rears 305/25/20 and PS4S fronts 265/30/20 for the past 3 weeks. The fronts rub on fender plastics on mid-turn but the traction is great. And to be honest I haven't noticed any ride issues either even though I always drive in Sport+ ride setting. From all the reviews I have read, the difference between PSS and PS4S is only noticeable on the track. I reckon go with the PSS. Nothing else on the market comes close for a street tyre!

I've had many cars lowered on 25 series in the rear, including a super heavy 750Li. We have nice paved streets here in AZ so don't need to worry too much about bad roads/pot holes.

I agree on the PSS tires. All my local perfomance shops recommend PSS. That's awesome that you alwys drive in Sport +. Is the setting a bit stiffer and lower than stock?

It is stiffer but feels way better driving even with millions of giant craters scattered all over sydney streets. I absolutely hate bodyroll, i don't like when I feel like I'm on a boat!
