Default WTB Michelin PS2 295/30-18

I'm looking for a single Michelin Pilot Sport 2 (PS2) 295/30-18 tire. My right rear tire was damaged at Daytona beyond repair, but the remaining three tires are still at 75% of new tread depth. So I'm trying to replace the damaged rear tire before I bite the bullet and buy two or four new tires.

Please PM me if you have (or know where I can find) a single Michelin Pilot Sport 2 (PS2) 295/30-18 tire.

Thanks,
Mike

That's a PS2. I'm looking for a Pilot Sport (not a 2).
EDIT: Oops - my tire IS a PS2. I was mistaken. This is the tire I'm looking for, except it is too old.

You don't have PS2s?

I am not sure they ever made the original Pilot sport in 295..but I could be wrong..

Besides the PS2 has no "2" in the logo..

Interesting question. How would I be able to tell if it doesn't say 2 in the logo?

by the tread pattern (the original pilot sport was completely different than the ps2)

also if the tires you have on your GT3 are OEM then they are PS2s.

It IS a PS2! It's an N4 PS2 manufactured in the 23rd week of 2009. That should be MUCH easier to find!

I have no clue if that extra 25% more thread will affect the handling ESP on track but for street probably not. If u order from tirerack and if u worry what can happen on track they have tire shaving service but not sure if they can shave it to 75 % thread. Mike
