Question about tires?

I've read all the threads about tires for a G and have decided to upgrade to Michelin Super Sport for my 04 G and was hoping for some input. Note that this is strictly for everyday street summer use and never track use.

 

First, my wheels are 3piece asanti that currently have pzero nero:

Front: 235/25 ZR19

Rear: 305/25 ZR20

 

So my questions are:

1. At certain hard angles, the front pzero tires have always rubbed slightly and I wonder if MSS tires would be the same or worse with rubbing? I read a thread where the tread is wider and thus is wider than a tire of equivalent size.

2. Since they are discontinuing the Super Sport tire in favor of the Pilot Sport 4S, should I wait until the 4S is available?

3. The current rear tires are 305 and I am wondering if I can get a wider tire such as 325 which is the next available size of SS.

 

Thanks for any input!

Well, you are most likely having tire "rub" because you aren't using the proper tire size for the car which is 235/35 19" for the fronts and 295/30 19" for the rears.

I don't see why the MSS would be any different than the p zero's as tire size is tire size, but I'm also not the most knowledgeable on this issue.

 

I can say from experience that you will love the Super Sports for your everyday driving. I used these on my Porsche 911 and they last a very long time, have a quiet ride, and have a really great road grip. I just purchased my first G Spyder (should arrive to me in the next 2-3 weeks) and it has the Super Sports on it so I'm excited about that.

 

 

 

4s is available in the stock size. Ur size is wrong and may do more harm. Wider isn't better

Where are you seeing this? I looked everywhere and TireRack.com said they aren't made yet in the stock nor sizes I mentioned
