Default Tire suggestions for 2011 GT3RS

Wondering what I should be looking at in the way of 19" street tires after the factory Michelin Sport Cups wear out.

Also, contemplating buying some 18" wheels for the track. I am not at the driving level for slicks just yet and seeking what else is available in the 18" vs the 19" tires, that might be suitable.

Thanks in advance.

I have collected some data for potential DOT tires in 18 and 19 inches.

See attached table....

Cheers

First997 that's impressive. For the MDs here is that considered OCD?

all tires listed above would work fine for NB GT3 with 18" 9"front and 12" rear rims.

Pilot Cup Super Sport if they are launched and available in RS sizes by the time you are ready to replace!
