GT3RS - Street tire selection

Question for you all.

If I go (lets say) to TireRack for the 2010/11 RS, I see some other tire and the MPSC's......... yet I get a much larger selection when looking for the fronts/rears by size alone.

Any specific reason for that. (other than possibly they have dialed-in that the car's main intended use may not be "street").

And I ask because I love the MPSC's, but, would not mind a 2nd set for street driving, smaller trips...etc. (Its a waste of a car not to use I think most would agree). I see the PS2's there......... man.........too bad the RE11's do not come in the 325/30/19 rear size.....

Any input? (and thanks)

When you search by a specific vehicle or by matching front rear, you ask our system to sort by what is available in both sizes together that matches the car you are looking for. In this case, one with different size tires front and rear. If searching by individual size only it will show all available tires in that size regardless if there is a matching rear within the brand and model.


Hope this helps. Please call me if you have any questions.

The Pirelli Trofeo's are great "R" cpd tires which are perfect for DD BUT their prices cause me to raid my kids college fund. Hell even the Corsa's are ridiculous. That's why I went to the R888's.
The Bridgestane RE-11 is a very good DD and trade-off.

.... and what I may do is look around for someone that has a 2010/11 RS with the OEM red wheels for sale and get some street tires on them, and just swap with my current wheels (MPSC's) for my AX events or mt drives...etc.
