I found this pic. Same wheel sizes as the RI-D; 19x8.5 245/35 front & 19x12 325/30 rear (Pilot 4S). Is the front tire too square?

Default Cup 2








Yes Cup 2. 5mm spacers all round. H&R -20mm. I have P4S I run as winters and amazing how much less understeer with cup 2. Puts handling on another level in terms of turn in.

P4S does have a square shoulder. Cup 2 rounder. Think P4S has a rim protector. I will see if I can find photo for you

Default P4S

P4S a better all round tyre but Cup 2 for when you’re on it. I prefer the Cup 2 and have used as dd for last 5 years 40k miles all year round. You have to be careful below 7c or in wet with cup tyres.

The latest Cup 2's have the additional meat on the sidewall that's meant to protect the wheel from curbing... Looks awful IMO.

You can still buy N0 rated Cup 2 for 997 in 245 and 325 size in Europe at least. I still use this tyre and its amazing considering. I also like that it does not have the rim protector built in doesn't need to its side wall so stiff compared to P4S. I have P4S on most of cars great tyre but not a patch on Cup 2 N0

Any opinions for wheel color on a meteor grey car? Choice is between BBS diamond black or satin black. Some quick photoshops.
