The convertible has (at the moment) 17s. It came from 18s when we bought it, but the move downwards to 17s was a big step forward in ride quality and style (for me). Next week, i`ll get my D90 (7 and 9 inch wide) with 225/55 and 245/45 done with new tires (that is a real disaster tyre size! but i`ll be an early adopter in the new pzero in 16-inch size) ... Old cars need big(ger) tire-sidewalls in my opinion...

Do you know if they will be available world wide or just over by you? That's kinda exciting...I've been stumped about what to do w my 16s...

Pzero will come in those sizes for 16s???
At the moment, we`ve only an old conti and that`s it. The bridgestone gets also a fresh charge and will be avail from june/july on...
I don`t know anything about the worldwide shipping strategy. sorry. But the pzero seems to be expensive. I`ve no supply date scheduled yet (first half of the year), but the price-tag ist round about 50% more than the conti and the bridgestone...
For the front, i choose 205/55 R16, because it`s just a convertible for smooth driving, besides my track-qpe..
