On Tuesday I had the better half drop my alloy plus pot hole blown tyre off at a local guy I've used with great results in the past. Decided to screw the cost and get the second of my Michelin ps4s fitted (the first coming in early December from a similar scenario). Now my partner was told at first "no problem we can get it in by lunch and you can pick it up" I was then told in the afternoon they couldn't get me a tyre till Wednesday and couldn't get that tyre at all "they might of stopped making it we can get you a pilot sport three". I opted to just get a budget piece of **** stuck on while I waited for the inevitable restocking of the ps4s. I then checked black circles out of curiosity who where able to deliver the Michelin pilot sport 4 s on Thursday to the same garage who had just told me that tyre essentialy no longer existed.
So Thursday rolls round and I get the call from black circles that they might not make my am delivery slot and pm can be anywhere up to 5pm so they were wanting to push my fitting to Friday. So what's one more day right. Well today my partner picked it up no problems. I go to get it from her boot and it's only a bloody pilot super sport they've put on it. My partner is most upset at not noticing this but as someone who herself just takes whatever cheap rubber is in the shop I can't really blame her for assuming a Michelin super sport is just another name for a Michelin pilot sport 4. So a bit of back and fourth with black circles and the garage and the correct tyre will be delivered Monday. To their credit I've been told to feel free to run around on the super sport till then. Don't know if I'll be told to just keep it or not but fingers crossed.
To finish on a question I noticed the ps4s are marked at purchase as reinforced is this something that adds any kind of durability? as I think back now the pothole that cracked my allow also in December didn't leave a mark on the pilot sport 4s that was attached at the time. And yes to all the smart arsed among us I should maybe just stop hitting pot holes.
