    Trying to buy some Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires and am having a bit of an issue. The rear tires are in stock. There is only 1 type of them and it says "MO1 Mercedes". The front tires have 3 types of the exact same tire and size, but only one of them says "MO1 Mecedes". The other 2 are in stock though. What gives? Is this MO1 Mecedes thing actually different? Does it say that on the tire? I'd like the tire to be the same make of tire that the rear ones are, but am confused on what this apparent difference is if any. I asked the guy at Tire Rack and he says the difference is so small you won't notice, but what exactly is that difference, and is there actually one?

    M01 means it is the first tire in that series and size for Mercedes. Ferrari specific tires use a K, but since there never was an MPS4S tire originally fitted to a 360/F430, there are no K spec tires available in sizes you want. Ones made for Mercedes or Porsche will work fine.
