I called Michelin USA this week. There are NO 305/30R/19's out yet in Pilot Sport Cups and neither are there any 295/30R/19's as well. They only make the fronts for our cars. Not sure when the rears will be out as they had no clue.

Yeah, the selection of 305 30 R19's is pretty slim from what I've seen which means there won't be any incentive for the prices to dip downward. It looks like about $2000 to replace the stock PS2 tires with the same thing.

Extract of email (below) from Michelin UK, one month ago. Mine are being airfreighted this week. Not surprising that they're avail becos the GT3 wouldn't be released without a suitable tyre.

Thanks,

Thanks,

I hope this helps out. I will be going to the 305's when my 295's wear out, but I may have to remove the 5mm spacers in the rear, just to be on safe side with clearance.
