Tyre Recommendations

[Big Supes]

Howdy, 

I'm running an r18 10.5 on the back and I'm debating what tyres to go with. I would have gone for a Michelin PS4, but they don't have them in the sizes I need. Are there any alternatives for an equivalent? 

I'm tempted to go with Proxy R888's but living in the UK, I'm concerned about getting caught out when the weather/road condition changes from dry to damp/wet.

Max size for Michelin PS4 on a r18 is 265, IIRC. I can run a set on the front, but not the rears.

You can go to a 285 on a 10.5 rim

On a 10.5" rim, you can go 265-295 ; optimal is 275-285

I'm thinking 285 will be the sweet spot.

Good find mate. I'll be honest, I've found it a bit of a headache trying to find size consistency with the PS4's. Michelin don't have all the sizes available on their website and other suppliers list the missing ones, but not others.
