No one needs new rubber? Thought the 16 inch size would be popular over here.

Well, quite honestly I can get them brand new and shipped for free for about the same price from TireRack with road side warranty.

Very few people running 16" these days majority would be 17" for cups 1s and 18" for aftermarket like BBS etc...

So just to set the record straight.....

Tire Rack does not sell this tire.

The Pilot SX is part of the Michelin CLASSIC series tires manufactured as the original OEM tire on the Porsche 964 and 993.

Price quoted today from Town Fair Tire:

205 55ZR 16. $245 plus tax,
245 45ZR 16. $319 plus tax.

They ship from one facility in Tennessee

You can probably install on a C2 and get away with it but need to double check for a C4 to make sure it is within rotating distance tolerance. It is 2 cm wider.

205/55 fronts and 225/50 rears are the approved size for 16" D90s. (from the owner's manual)

Correct: These are 205/55ZR16 fronts and 245/45ZR16 rears and wondering if they fit on the stock D90s

So I did not buy these tires, but I have a receipt saying they were put on the car less than 100 miles and less than a year before I bought it.

The front tires have a DOT date code. I can't make heads or tails of the rear code. I'm posting some photos...

the fronts appear to be 30th week of 2016. I'm not sure how to read the code on the rears
