Default will 295/30-19 fit?

It seems this question has gotten lost among the dissertations of runflat v. non-runflats, so I'll try asking it separately. Does anyone know if the Michelin PS2 295/30-19 will fit the C6 rears? And no, I am not conerned with the risk of giving up runflat tires.

Need a 10.5 to safely put a 295 on the rear.. you could do it but i wouldnt. The PS2's generally run a little wide as well.. not to mention the rolling radius will be off if you dont upgrade the front as well.

Looks like I will probably need tires around March (track school in Feb). Maybe by then either Michelin PS2s or Bridgestone SO-3s will be available in our size.

Loved my S03's.. they are great.. wear a little quick but they are terrific for the money. Excellent rain tire and great in the dry. Just make sure when you have them mounted that your tire shop has new hunter machines because the sidewall on the S03 is so stiff a lot of the older machines have difficulty mounting them.

Id have to say that i doubt bridgestone will be introducing any more S03 sizes as it has been around about 2-3 years now. I wouldnt doubt the PS2 will have more sizes soon but the S03 im doubtful of.

A good friend of mine who track His C6 put these tires on

285/35/YR19
BFGoodrich g-force T/A KDW 2

245/40YR18
BFGoodrich g-force T/A KDW

He was my student at VIR early Dec. Dang those were great tires with a lot of cornering traction. The tires also talked back in the corners so you know how much to push them.
