Default Michelin Pilot Super Sport - Rear Size Recommendation
What size rears for Pilot Super Sports on a C2S?

295's or 305's?

305's are on national backorder for several weeks, which is the direction I was leaning. 295's are available now.

Thanks for the input.

These would be going on Carrera Classics, so 11x20 ET70.

typically I think Porsche go with 295 on the 11's and 305 on the wider Sport Techno's ... but I think you can safely fit 305's back there ...

I went to 305's on my C2S, but I do have 15mm spacers.

305 are perfect for 11" wheels.
Wait for them if you can.

305's. Fit great on 11's and the look is just right.

To fit 305 on NB, don't you need to put in spacer?

That has nothing to do with it.
Actually, there is less need for a spacer with a wider tire.

Homeles - you show off. I have put on restricted duty till they become available. I have very little tread left.
