Tire choice with order?

FSHNGRY · 03-09-2021, 07:01 AM

Wondering what kind of tires are delivered on the car when everyone accepted delivery. I've been a Michelin Pilot Sport guy for many years. I love the ride quality, fitment, and square sidewalls that look oh so beefy. I was curious if anyone was able to request a specific tire, or if there were any choices available.

Also, since we are talking about tires- Why aren't there more cars out there with 305's in the rear? Most posts I see have 295's in the rear.

I believe its either michelin sport 4s or pzeros. Luck of the draw really.

I have only seen Pzeros or Pilot Sport 4s come from the factory. I was luck enough to hit the Michelin lottery for mine.

Tires are either P-Zeros or MPS4S .. you can't select what you get or at least not when I ordered.

AWD and rolling diameters may play a role in the # of cars running 305's versus 295's ... I've seen many cars running 285/295 or 275/295.

I'm running MPS4S 275/295 (30ZR/21) for two years with zero issues on 21" wheels.

I think 285/305 will work but have not seen many cars running that set up.

305 vs 295, not a big deal. traction isn't an issue in this car. throw some spacers on it for beefier look

Not a choice, luck of the draw like everyone said those are the only two setups from factory im on pzeros didnt hit the lotto.
