Michelin Tire Sale!!!!

Tirerack is having a tire sale on Michelin Pilot Sport (rear). $181 .00 (regular price at $327.00) on Michelin Pilot Sport in the 275/35-18ZR size. The rear size tires for E55s. I found out on the M5 forum site and verified with Chuck at tirerack. Luckily for me, those tires are what I have on my E55 and I was in need of new tires. Great price!!! Hard to pass up!!!

I just have one question. Luck, how come you didn't tell us about this great price on Michelins at Tirerack?

Wow, that is an AWESOME price! Sports for the price of Kumho's!

Warning though, the price is most likely due to them discontinuing that size, so if you blow one, you may be screwed. Also, these tires are LOUD!

Thanks

I doubt that the Pilot Sport is being discountined in that size. Many cars use that in the rear:

BMW M5
E55 1999-2002 (US)
Jaguar S-type R

The design is only a couple years old. Seems like it hit the market around 2000. The Dunlop 9000 has been around since about 1998.

Don't be so sure about that! Tire companies do odd things. I have seen it many times before! Ask Luke, he will know for sure.

Sorry, I never looked into the sale of the 19s. I just know the 18s are on sale.

I have Pilot Sports all around and I can't hear them. Now, the Michelins XCX/APT All Terrain I have on my Grand Cherokee, those are loud!

The sale is for two sizes only - 275/35/18 & 335/30/18.

These tires were made OEM for the Dodge Viper.
