Just installed Michellin PSS 285 / 315
A lot more grip at lower temperature.
The rears rub a little bit when I go over an off camber curb. These were expensive in comparison to the goodyears, they cost me $1700 after tax shipping and install.

After a few days of driving, I am noticing that the rears rub over bumps in the road as well as off camber curbs.
The steering is also less responsive than with the factory Goodyear F1's. A lot more grip, but feel less firm; tire pressure is at 36.

Did you get the K1's or the K2's?
One (K2) has narrower tread width (11") but greater tread depth (10/32).while the other (K1) has a wider tread width (11.5") but shallower tread depth (7/32). I have the same setup on a 2013 ZL1 convertible with the K2's I mine don't rub at all. |

not sure.
The tires are rubbing on the plastic fender flare, not on the body. The rears for a Ferrari was all that was available, not sure which one that is. They said there were only 4 sets nation wide available, now there are 3. I talked with 2 tire dealers, supposedly Michelin is behind on deliveries for all of the super sport tires.

I'm running Michelin PSS 295's on the front and 315's on the rear with no rubbing issues.

I had occasional rubbing on the upper corners of the rear bumper fascia.
I smoothed the inside edges, now all better. The front corners also rubbed with the extra wide 295s. Better with the regular 295s, but still sometimes a bit of rub on the driver side.

It rubs only in the back, on both sides.
I just have to take it easy over bumps. I don't regret the buy, but I'm not sure if I would bur again, The steering response is much slower. Maybe I could pick up a spare set of wheels later this year to have the Goodyear's as summer tires. They had good grip when its more than 80 degrees out.

I also have a set of 5-Spokes with the factory rubber (5/32 left) and includes new air pressure sensors. Thanks, Sam. |
