New tire option 20"
I found this new Michelin Cup size,this tire is great expensive but the grip is super good.Also they are very light for a DOT tire.

315 25 20
245 30 20

Now we won't loose so much perf when using 20" wheels.

Apparently my tuner didnt get the tyres yet and cancelled that order...so I am thinking should I get them or not for rears ???

How long do they last and how do they perform in cold weahter ??? would they work ok if I have from reg Contis and rear slicks like Pilots Cups ???

They work perfect for street use,they are not the best for rain but also they work good in rain.
