315/30/20 or 325/30/20
Any of you guys running these sizes on a 12 inch rear wheel? Is there a noticeable tire bulge at all? Was the driving dynamic changed? Any tramline effects? What tire size were you running up fronts?
Looking to run MPSC2 all around on the GTS but would like some more meat on the wheels.

Hi NINO, The MPSC2 are a little meatier than the Pzero.
I run the same size 245/35/20 MPSC2 up front. They are a different shape to the Pzero. The Pzero, have like a rim protecting fold almost and then they scoop back in. Whereas the MPSC2 are almost a constant radius on the side wall.
So they look a little fatter.
I want to d a few more skid pan days, before I change the rear tyres. I was considering wider at the rear, however if you track, then probably best to stick with 305. 325 might be better for 1/4 though.

Bummer.. 325's sound a little too meaty for a 12 inch wheel now that I think about it a little more.
Hi homeles... Nice plate, I like your sense of humor
Do you have any pics of this setup? Can you chime in on how the ride changed... Does the rear end feel heavier with those tires? How cornering and grip? Any understeer with the 255's up front? Speed-o accurate?

Just looked and Pirelli has 315/30/20 and 255/30/20 in PZero but New Michelin only goes to 305. I dont track . I gather Michelin is much smoother? Not sure what to do here. Tempted to go wider. My OEM Pirellis aren't bad but haven't tried Michelin.
Ooooops wrong PZero......carry on...........

There is world of difference between a MPSS (Hard compound, M4 lights them up like a xmas tree). The 4S is a nice step towards the right direction but is far more street focused, and don't be fooled it is NO CUP2.
If you only track once a year then go 4S. If you are a ratbag on street and track, you will love Cup 2. Best all round tyre for fast guys.
Pzero is rubbish. Corsa is like a 4S. But Trofeo R is the ultimate for the track. Will last 3,000 miles on the street. Super soft and sticky. Cup 2 much better all rounder and awesome for the track.
Need more convincing? What tyre comes standard on the GT3? The GT3 RS and the R and even the GT2 RS, That would be the Cup 2. They transformed my M4. I love them on the GTS and I only have the fronts. They inspire confidence.
P.S. Oh wow 4 Point O, your car looks awesome. I really love the Black & White theme you have going. Those tinted windows really match the livery. Thanks for posting the pics.
