Default Michelin 275/35 R18 ZR Pilot Sport Plus A/S

I threw this in this forums classifieds but thought someone here should get first dibs: A pair of Michelin 275/35 ZR18 Pilot Sport Plus A/S. Ran them on my 03 STR for approx. 3000 highway miles. Purchased three months ago (10/2010) from my repair/tire shop for $360/each. Asking $230/each.

They look all business in both width and tread, I like the price too. Too bad I have new Michelins on front cause I'de get rid of em too and pop on Nittos all around. Ya sure 295's will fit in the rear?

Pretty safe bet.....Ill let you know in the spring for sure....They hold up quite well on the vette, long lasting, and decent grip and that is on a 735rwhp 725rwtq light weight ZO6....So rolling burnouts are quite often.....

They are good in the rain.....snow doubtful.....but that is what the winter tires are for....Nittos at 4 corners are nicey nice in the warm!

Isn't there a way to check if they'll fit? Mafioso wrote he's certain 285's will clear the rear.

Shoot. Sorry mafioso, I sold them yesterday to an STR owner in Toronto, Canada. Popped on a pair of Michelin 285/35 ZR18 Pilot Sport Plus A/S. They fit well and look just a tad wider than the 275's. The installer said he wouldn't go with a wider Mitchelin with H&R Sport Springs...unless ya like a rub and funky turning patterns (when coupled with the 245's up front).

No biggie that's what i get for working **** off.

Might have a surprise for you guys if the price is right. All I can say 9.5 fronts and 11 rears keeping 18"s

And yes I will have the h&r springs on ;-)

3 piece 11" wheel will give her a mean and wide rear-end stance. I guess it gets off-set an 1 1/2" inward (towards differential)?

I've been talking to the fiske guys and yes 11" will fit with 325/30/18 or 345/25/18 for the rear and 275/35/18 up front

It should make for a sick *** stance.

The goal is a dirty nasty VIP style lip and alot meat.

This is one style I'm looking at:
