New Pilot Super Sport mounting problems
Having just purchased a 2015 Z06 w/ Z07, I'm trying to put Michelin Super Sports on instead of the Cup tires. The problem is that it's extremely difficult to get the rear tires (335/25ZR20) to seat and seal. The narrow sidewall and run-flat stiffness are the culprits, I've been told. The shop I went to struggled for hours and never got either one seated. Then looking in the forum, I see a couple threads on this subject. Lots of shops are having trouble with this tire. Some can do it, but I know of at least two reputable shops that gave up. Clearly, there is a problem here. It shouldn't be this difficult to mount OEM tires on OEM wheels. So my question for Tadge is: are you even aware of the problem, and are you doing anything about it? (If you're going to stay with this combo, can't you at least put out a how-to guide to help all these struggling shops?)
