From my read of tire rack, specs are the same except K1 are wider . . . .

K1: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....PSSXL&i1_Qty=2

K2: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....SXLV2&i3_Qty=2

Looking to put 315s on rear and 285s on front of a stock 2014 Zl1 with stock rims and suspension

If you go back to Tirerack, search for Michelins for your car, it should show 4 different tires in 315/35/20
Simply put a check mark next to the two PSS's in the 'compare' box, then select compare.

It'll nicely show specs for both side by side making it easy to see the differences.

Then again I'd expect you already did that.

I know this doesn't make any sense, but I noticed from the pictures of your tires that you have the black 10-spoke wheels?
I have the 5-spoke polished wheels.

I know it shouldn't make any difference, but.......
Just trying to figure why yours seem to rub, but mine don't???

That could be it - who knows. Stacked manufacturing tolerances one way or the other . . . . slight difference in rims and there you go.

The thing is - why only rub on one side and why did the OEM tires rub - again, not by much but the mark was there.

I have the 295 and 315 k2s. 30,000 miles and never any rubbing even with the car fully loaded.

Looking at MPSS 285 front and 315 rear. My car is barely over 4000lb - coupe - no roof. Do we think the 'verts have a rub problem in the rear, and how bad is the steering vs. G1's in the front? Would the 285 steer better with less balloon effect over the rim than the 295? Anyone running this setup on a coupe?

Im being told Tire rack is out of 285, 295 and 315 for 6-8 months. Anyone else having this tiny little issue?

I have a 2013 ZL1 convertible with the 295/315 K2's on it with no rubbing at all. Love these tires.
