Michelin pilot sport cups -new

I have a set of brand new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires. Never mounted and never used.

They were purchased for a particular application and then the rims were subsequently not available to me for that application.

I have two (2) 325/30-19 and two (2) 235/35-19.

I am asking $1,600.00 for the set of four (4). That's a considerable savings since they would be well over $2,000.00.

Since they are my own tires there is no California sales tax either!

Prefer a Bay area pickup if possible but I can easily ship them FedEx ground to any location

They are a perfect fit for the GT3.

I can also accept most major credit cards.

I have had a few inquiries about wheel size requirements.

The 325/30-19 will fit 11" - 12" wide rims.

See for confirmation:

And yes the tires are all new with the original stickers.

though they will fit a gt3, those are actually gt2 sized rear tires and thus will be .4" taller in the back and with a wider section width than the standard 305 gt3 cup tires. good price for someone local

Will they fit a 997 NB (in the rear)? I suspect that they will rub the fenders. I have the 295's on the car now. Also, my car's been lowered. Any opinion? I'm in the Bay Area so if this could work, it would be relatively simple.

Wheel offset plays an important role in tire placement.

The calculator below can help determine the tire's effect on your vehicle visavis the tires you presently have.

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Here is also an offset calculator:

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

a 295 tire is 11.614" wide
a 305 tire is 12.007" wide.
a 325 tire is 12.795" wide

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I strongly suspect that the 1" difference (295/325) will put it over the top in turns of rubbing. I guess I'll have to pass. But thank you and GL on your sale.

I would check with Sharkwerks in Fremont.

They are very sharp and could advise you on the fitment.

The 325/30-19 tires also fit the Z06 Corvette rears.
