and for those of us with .2 gt3's who would like to go wider on the rear, no fitment. would prefer 315 or 325 for the rear, however, the 19 fronts have great sizing available.

hopefully a good tire for a street driven gt3 that can also do some track days. stock sizes available too. RS's will have to wait a little while.

Nope, but Tirerack has a couple of sizes for Fcars, this should be an indicator...

285/30ZR20 $415.00 (ea.)
315/35ZR20 $479.00 (ea.)

So these perform much better in rain/wet conditions right? For a daily driver would these be the way to go?

well they are summer tyres, but their wet performance is better than that of the MPSC, and they are a daily driver rather than a track tyre like the MPSC

think PS2 on steroids!

Looking at this again I wonder that maybe the proper 6GT3 and 7GT3 sizes are missing on purpose so that they can Nrate them first ?
What you know L.?
