Michelin Pilot Super Sports

I know they aren't available in correct size yet, but has anyone tried them in a 'wrong size'?

For example:

275/35/20 front
295/35/20 rear

Can get a set for £1300 from camskill, haven't shopped about as I'm not sure they'll fit std rims.

Why put wrong sizes on at that price?
Yokohama Advan Sport V103 in the right size are £400 cheaper, and Bridgies can be had for only £100 more.

I just know they'll grip like a gorilla to his last banana. As interesting as yoko's are, I'd want them in 275 front and 315 rear but 315 are probably to wide and can't imagine them being better than the RE070 for similar price.

Rich-GT is convinced that Toyo 888's are the best

Be patient as Michelin are developing the tyre in the correct size and spec for the GTR apart from not being run flat.

Testing is currently taking place. I cannot recommend Yokos as they are only OK for school runs and pottering about.

Why do you want bigger than standard?
