The 315 is about 3/4" larger in diameter than the 305. I wonder if that would cause any problems with the traction control/launch control systems?

Have you guys looked to see if the Conti DWS06 will work? I run the older DWS on my 13.

Hows pricing and best place to order them? I'll probably order an extra rear set to have around when I need them.

Their was a previous post about the michelin being thinner than Goodyears in same size. So a 315 michelin might be less than 3/4 of an inch fatter? Yes no?

GuitarmageddonZL1 (Nick) put a set of 315/35 drag radials on his car. The only issue was the tire being so tall that it rubbed the inner fender liner. Likely where the wiring harness is. I've heard that a few SS owners have relocated the wires to fit larger tires. If the 315/35 doesn't affect it, a 315/30 definitely shouldn't.

I've been on Super Sports since 300 miles. I found them to be superior both on street and track. but that's me.

Michelin are the best. I have had most brands of tires and I always go back to Michelin. I will switch to the Sport Cup 2's after break in and I burn these tires off.

Great tires but they wear way too fast... Not dishing out 1500 in tires every 2 years is more important than added grip. Street use anyway.

Good point. Maybe it would be better to get a set of extra wheels and tires for track days and the 4S or SS for daily driving.
