Details on the rubber? Width? Brand?

Everything is the same, the tire is smaller so the dimensions are the same. The wait must be killing you!

quick question: was you car set to low in those pictures? The stance looks sweet. Awesome ride!

Sorry to hijack this thread, I'm in the process of ordering some 20" staggered (9.0J front 10.5J rear) CV4's and have asked my installer to look for Michelin Pilot Super Sport, but sadly the fronts are not available in my size (245-40-20).
He gave me these three options:
- Bridgestone RE 050A
- Continental sport contact 3XL
- Pirelli Pzero
What would be the best set to choose from performance wise? Sound/rolling/rain does not matter so much for me personally.

I'd go with the Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position... They're made in 245/40/20 and 275/35/20 (which I assume is what you're putting on the rear.)

Doing a set of 255/40/20 and 285/35/20 might be an option in the Pilot Super Sport also. I have Pilot Alpin PA3's in 255/45/19 and they seem to work ok. (slight rubbing @ the extremes, not a big deal though).

Thanks for the reply, but I really need to pick one of three.
For the rears my installer recommends 285/35/20

It appears the P-Zero is the top rated UHP Summer tire @ Consumer reports (even higher than the Pilot SuperSports) also seems to get a decent review @ Tirerack. (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=148) I'd go with those...

Put 255 up front and 305 in the back. 275/285 would look terrible in the rear and leave much of the rim exposed for damage. I went with P Zero Neros for my CV4s.

Also worth noting that Pirelli tires have a more rounded sidewall as compared to Michelins so going a bit wider usually isn't an issue.
