Actually that is backwards...the smaller front sizes seem to be available as of this week. The larger sizes, which were supposed to come out first, are not being released until end of March. I have had the rear tires on order since the middle of last month and expected them to be ready March 1st.

 

Tire rack consumer site says beginning April, but the wholesale site says may 5-12...

 

If shipped to an installer I hope they offer a hold shipping until all four are ready option.

 

Just got the rear sizes installed. They make the pirrelli pZero's feel like Fred Flintstone era, made of stone, piece of crap rubber!!!!

 

Really? That dramatic? I put these on hold because my Pirellis still have 75% rubber; dammit.

 

Note that Cherry's car is an XF not an F-Type and the rear tyres are 275/35ZR19, so not proof that the correct F-Type 20" sizes are available just yet.

 

Delivery would not be until 5/10 anyway.

 

Yes...that dramatic. My first reaction was " "

The smaller fronts are available for order direct from Michelin warehouses. No one is stocking them yet (at least that is what I am being told).

Need help with spacer questions for the fronts.

The rears are 275/35/19 and they look so good on the XF. But I think the fronts throw off the look because they are recessed into the wheel well so much, when compared to the rears.

I will post pics of what I am seeing if anyone can help me out with this. I have never messed with spacers before, so I don't really know the strokes when it comes to correct sizing.

 

I think you need to head over to the XF forum for fitment questions. We can help you find spacers after you determine what size will fit.

 

yeah..that's what I figured I wold hear...that side is bloated with engine issues, blah, blah...no modding going on. Guess I will figure it out. thanks.

 

The PCD and centre bore are both the same for the XF and F-Type, so F-Type spacers will fit perfectly on an XF and vice versa. I know because I moved my 15 mm spacers from the front of my XFR to the rear of my F-Type with no problems at all.
You can get hubcentric 15 mm spacers for your XF from here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Alum...2-c19820e34402

 

You just don't like me because I don't have an F Type!!!!!

I have a car seat dammit!!!!!

 

Many former XF owners, and also those offering help.

 

Just spent $1,352 on 4 new Michelin 4S tires at Discount Tire. He had one 255/35R20 front tire in stock. The other one and the 2 rear 295/30/R20 was available at the Michelin wholesale warehouse. Delivered tomorrow :-)

They gave me a $70 rebate for buying all four so ultimately I paid $1,282 installed.

Tire Rack wants $1,245 plus $79 in shipping, and my dealer wants $30 a wheel for install. ($1,444!!) So I think I did pretty good.

I'm going to install them weekend after next after a weekend at the track where I will destroy whats left of my Pirelli PZeros.

 

Once you have had the 4S on a while can you give us a comprehensive report?
I'm seriously considering junking the OEM PZeros for a set of 4S in the same sizes as you have even though they have plenty of life in them still.

 

I'm in desperate need of new tires and want to get these but the rears are not available anywhere and seem to have not been released.
So I had no choice and ordered two pilot super sports for the rear and getting the 4S on the front.
Do you mind sharing the info to your guy or the Michelin wholesale warehouse? My tire guy double checked all his sources and they seem to not have been released yet in 295/30/20.
