Talking Photos of new rear 275/40R19 Michelin Pilot Super Sport

Hi Guys,
Here I share you some pictures of the new rear 275/40R19 Michelin Pilot Super Sport (with my old-front 255/40R19 Pirelli) tires.
The first picture it will be the 255/40 R19, and the second is the 275/40R19 tire, so you can compare views, and the last one is a full view of the back with the newtires

That's definitely the way they should've been!

Looks great. Can't wait to get bigger tires for the rear. Any difference in the ride?

The tires stick to the floor like glue. Great handling but no more tire chirp for your ears to enjoy.
Just a bit of tramlining on bad pavement.
Car handle great but somehow feels less agile, like when you step out of tenis shoes to put on your boots.

I'm considering a set for all four corners but don't want the sort of concave look you get with 285's on the brembo wheels. Can you post a few more pics that would show the profile of the sidewalls of your rear tires?

The brembo rims are wider than the standard GT rims, aren't they?? I know those come with the 245/45 19"s.

Would love to see more pics, especially bigger pics showing the whole car


The 275/40 is one of the sizes I'm considering once my rears are worn out.
With 1400 miles on the car, they're nowhere near that yet though ... lol

Yes I believe they are 19 x 9 carrying a standard 255/40-19 tire

The 245/45-19s come on the 'optional' 19 x 8.5 wheels.
