Correct - from the Michelin website:
ATS Euromaster is a distribution network owned by the Michelin group and was created in 1965. With over 50 years of experience, the network has become one of the leaders in the market of tyre and vehicle repair services in the UK.

You have to wonder, then, why Michelin's own web-site directs you to Protyre when going to look at their tyres and not their own company ATS!! Below is what happens when you click 'Buy Online' on Michelin's own web-site.



EDIT: It's a local ATS garage that are going to be fitting the Conti tyres next week for me, as they also apparently can't get the un-marked 4S tyre.

yes p zeros are j marked not the ps4’s…….my car also likes to tramline especially on canvey way for some reason ! maybe as they get older they loose some kind of integrity on the walls perhaps. i had to change one of the fronts as a carbuncle appeared for no reason ! i hadn’t kerbed or hit a pot hole that i can remember, fortunately the only good tyre left on the 458 was the same so just had jet tyres swap it over. going by what others say plus my own experience with ps4 tyres il be using them on the f type next time a change is due.

You can buy Michelins from Black Circles online and select an ATS as the fitting place. Works for me. I've had MO tyres (Mercedes) and not noticed a difference, but what might be the difference?

 

[Hotlurve]

probably the biggest difference is when your jaguar warranty doesn't pay out on a claim as they are not jaguar approved tyres !doesnt affect me mines out of warranty……. not sure if it can effect insurance though…. cant say ive heard that it does.

……. not sure if it can effect insurance though…. cant say ive heard that it does.

No problem so long as the tyre meets or exceeds the spec of the "approved" ones.
