Other than DOT rated race rubber, I think the Super Sports will be the tire that all the other MFRs set there cross-hairs on. They could be the 1st true 40,000 mile performance tire. I will own a set as soon as they debut.

I'm on my second set of PS2s now, with 59K total miles. I run the 275/345 combination. When I put my 1st set on I got the warning light once, on a high speed braking maneuver. I never got it again. I honestly think the BCM has an adaptive learning function and after a while the slight mis-match in tire height is allowed for. A wider front tire is not necessarily a good thing. A bulging sidewall will compromise cornering capabilities negating any benefits realized from an increased contact patch.

The M PSS 285/35-18 is sized for a 9 1/2 to 11" rim, so M is happy with it performing on a stock Z06 front rim and it has about a 1/2" more tread than the 275, thus should have more grip and come close to maintaining the stock front/rear balance if a 345 rear is used. I'll still probably go with the 275/325 combo as my 335 NT-05's rub on the inner fender liner due to their higher overall diameter and the PSS 345 is probably even a little taller.

Forgive my ignorance, but does that size fit the stock wheel with no issues (rubbing)?

These are the Michelins that I am running on my Z06 now.

I have over 12,000 miles on them and still have 5/32 of tread. They are also very good in the rain as well as on dry pavement.

I may be going overkill on my 98 vert! I am going to 18/19 inch wheels and need a new set of tires and after all the reviews decided these were the ones to get! The C5 guys don't even mention them. I am waiting for my rear set to get here and in the spring will be hitting the road! I am very excited to see how these tires perform.

AzDave47

You realize the PSS in either the 345 or 325 size won't be available until mid-Feb., so you must have gotten the PS2's? Of course, those sizes are probably too wide for your C5.

MrGary2011

For the rear I purchased 275/35ZR19 (100Y) for 19 x 10 wheels, fronts are 245/40ZR18 (97Y) for 18 x 9.5 They are the Pilot Super Sports from TireCrawler.com
You don't think these will fit? They are in the garage and havent put them on yet, these were the recomended sizes.
I will be a bit upset if they dont fit!

AzDave47

I was concerned with 345 or 345 not fitting as those are the sizes discussed on this C6 Z06 chat board. The sizes you got should work on the C5. Don't worry, be happy.

I talked to Michelin last Thursday and they told me the new tires are already in production! They will be hitting the distributors starting the 1st of February. I'm #2 to receive a set on Luke@tirerack's "super sport" tire list. They'll be replacing my 30K mile+ non-runflat PS2s.

dvandentop

awesome!! i wonder when some of the other sizes will be hitting the rack then as well

dvandentop

hope these make it for the v in this latest batch

What is the difference between these tires and the PS2's? On stock sized Z06 Rims, will the 345's bulge? Do they make matching 295's 18's for the front? Does anyone have pricing information?

AzDave47

Higher tread wear rating (300 vs PS2 220), more grip, but non-runflat. No pricing yet but comparable to PS2 non-run flat. No info yet on dimensions, but they are supposed to make 325/30-19 and 345/30- 19; 285/35-18 is the current widest 18.
