Take a look at this tire guys! You can see Pilot Super Sport written across the top, and the I think it appears to be a stock size (295/35). but look at it. Look at the shape and profile of the sidewall. Now look at your stock Super Sport. This tire is clearly different. Talked to the owner on FB who said it's the stock tire, but then he stopped communicating and didn't provide any additional pictures. But this tire obviously has a different shape/profile from any stock, 295/35 tire I've ever seen. What's up? I reaaaalllyy like this one better than the stock one that came on my car.

We have GT350-specific MPSS tires. If there really is a difference, it may be because he put on run of the mill MPSS tires instead of the ones that's bespoke to our cars. I wouldn't know anymore, I'm running 305fr and 325rears now.

Those are just different load ratings. The stock super sport tire were 100Y load, many places when ordering a replacement aren't familiar with the specific load rating and end up ordering the 104Y load super sport.

those will fit on stock rims? They make them in the mpSC FS? Im looking on tire rack and they only have the sport cups in 305/30/19, 325/30/19 and not 35’s

I don’t know how they’d run on the car, but they sure do look a ton better.

Magnetic is correct, it's 325/30s in the rear and I have R-specced wheels.

They don't make 325/30 MPSS anymore. I had to get a brand new set that was made in mid 2016.
