Wanted - Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 255/35ZR20
I'm after a 20" Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (the dual compound tyre) size 255/35ZR20 with decent tread.
As this will probably end up on the spare I could (as I have before) tolerate a standard PS4. Also probably (sooner or later) I'll need one or two Final Edition 20" wheels, ideally still diamond cut. The original 8.5J version - 4D0 610 025 AE. Friday afternoon I ended up with a totally flat tyre and cracked wheel, not sure which came first but the tyre is definitely toast as I drove on it for a couple of miles before realising. I'll find out next week if the wheel is repairable.

However I found a refurbished (painted) pair without any welds/repairs for sale on eBay and trotted over to foggy Essex this morning to pick them up. In due course I'll rationalise what I have as the surface of my current wheels is going and I'll soon be saying goodbye for ever to the diamond-cut look.  The seller was a quite interesting, he'd had them on a D3 W12 a few years ago. When he bought it it had one pair of 9J and one of 8.5J FE style wheels. So he upgraded ASAP to 9J all round, which I think is correct for a D3 anyway. When the W12 moved on he kept these for a potential project which never happened, so they've been sitting around in his garage doing nothing for a long time.  As for tyres, I'm now not so sure. If a bargain part-worn turned up I'd still be interested but I might just buy a new pair next spring when the winter wheels come off. They're not on yet (apart from the spare wheel which is now one of the winters) but I'll probably do that earlier than usual as I'm down to four 20s. As for the wheel, they said it was repairable but I've not heard back yet that it's done.

Maybe this one? Not a 4S but should be OK for spare and not far from you, could pop over to collect and get it fitted for £10 extra. A bit of mixed feedback but if going over yourself, you could check out tyre before parting with your money.

Thanks Ainars, missed that one. Not sure about: NO PUNGCHERE!!!!!!!!!!
To be honest, having bought two 20" wheels (for about the same price as fixing my broken diamond cut one!) I'm tempted to get two new tyres, but I'll talk to my tyre man first. I'll get him in ASAP to put the winter wheels on and show him what I've got (once the repair is back with me). He's a bit of a petrolhead so talks sense. The summer tyres are all in good nick and not that worn but are dated 2016.

Have you considered getting your existing wheels 're-diamond cut'. I have seen the results from a local company and was very surprised.

Back again - tyre still wanted
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 255/35ZR20 or similar/equivalent for spare wheel. Especially if anyone is going to the annual meet in The Lakes. Part worn in good condition totally acceptable.
Having had a bad experience with alloy repairs and another one buying a tyre on eBay I'm after a known good tyre for my 20" spare wheel. (At present I still have an 18" winter wheel in the boot - same rolling radius so fine if needed) If you have a diamond-cut wheel with such a tyre that's even better..... FYI My diamond-cut alloy did get repaired but on careful inspection it was the edge of a previous repair that failed and it's now rather a mess. My tyre man in really not happy to use it so it's sat in the garage. Meanwhile, as I have another on the car that has already had a (tidier) repair I bought a pair of repainted 20s as "backup". It's one of these that I hope to put a decent tyre on to become my "summer spare". I also bought what appeared to be a decent MPSS 20" tyre (eBay) for the spare but on inspection my tyre man said it had been run flat and the sidewall was damaged - inside, nothing obvious externally. I'd missed this and it's now far too late to make a claim.
