To compound this issue, next year Michelin is going to release the "Super Duper Sport".

Just re-comfirmed with my S'pore dealer,no such size in my market,real strange.!

So, if one wants these on their stock rims, they have to move to a 295 in the rear, is that correct?

That looks like a Pilot Cup to me

I may check them out. Seller states "sport", but we'll see

cossie1600 · 10-16-2012, 08:17 AM

I believe they are called Pilot Sport Cups, check Tireracks website

Just checked Tirerack:

From checking tread pattern, they don't appear to be Sport Cups . They look like they are PS2 if you compare with this one and I checked a few other images:

Seller also has these:

285/35/19 MICHELIN PILOT PRIMACY

States "Pilot Primacy", but tread pattern is "Sport A/S".

I just installed the Pilot Sport PS2's on my car and they are great. Keep in mind they get grippier as you put temperature into the tire.

Front 265/35/19
Rear 285/35/19

On stock Rays

Thanks. I do understand what the numbers mean but dont have experience of what will exactly fit on my rims. I thought i read that the 295 would fit on the rears but then you posted above and said they wouldnt fit, so i was confused.

Well...I found and purchased a set of lightly used Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires yesterday. They're going on my stock Rays:

255/40-19 Front
285/35-19 Rear

All tires have about 80% tread with perfect beads and no repairs. I picked them up for $350 mounted & balanced!!! How could I pass up on such a deal
