C5 optional wheel/tire combinations
I attempting to find tires to fit '03 Z06 (currently, standard wheels with Bridgestone tires, and no I will not replace these). I'd prefer to go back to Michelins, but they have discontinued the front tire size in the Pilot Sport PS2 line. From what I can find, I can either -
change the front tires (265/40 - 17) to (265/35 - 18) to keep the PS2
OR
change the rear tires (295/35 - 18) to (295/30 - 19) to change to the newer Pilot Sport 4S tire.
Either way, I believe I've got to change front or rear to get the Michelins back on the car.
I'd like to hear from anyone that has the newer Pilot Sport 4S tires on a C5....any issues with them and would you recommend.
If anyone has comments on keeping the PS2 instead of the 4S....

I’m happy with the ps4s on my car. Running 265/35/18, 305/30/19. Dry,wet,hot,cold I drive mine all the time and haven’t had any issues. Didn’t note the mileage when I replaced them but it’s been 15-20k and I believe I can get another 3-5k on them.
