Tire Fitment for Fat *** getting to be issue???
Just putting new shoes and finding serious availability issues for rear 295's
Can Get P-Zero Rosso - Not excited
Only Michelin I can find in 295 is Pilot Sport Cup - Had these and excited about them again if not raining!
If going Toyo what are you guys liking?
THoughts?

I just got my BBS RS-GT for widebody yesterday from TireRack and was surprised how many 295 tire options there were. 2x R compound and I think 6x summer. PS2, Bridgestone, Yokohama, etc. ended up with another set of Sumis as the set I got 4 years ago in 285 for the OEM 10 hollow twists were fine on the street.
First look and on Monday the Koni FSD and M033 springs and Fister 2 in black with Big Oval tips go on.

I had same problem about a month ago (17 inch). Was stranded in wisconsin with a nonrepairable flat and nobody had anything that would fit. Good lesson if you remove spare for track days remember to replace it!
I used to like hankook v12 - i just cant see spending $2k for street tires when the rears are gone in 6000 miles. And the hankooks were great and cheap. This time went with sumi's. I replaced all 4 for nearly the price of one michelin rear- exaggerating a little but it was around $600 if i recall. And so far seem very good handling in dry and wet. I have other wheels for track.
