Default Proper Size for Michelin Pilot Sport Cup's

Anyone run these tires before and what are the sizes that I should run on the stock 16" rims?

How are the rims if was to use them as a daily tire? Yes, I know they are expensive, wear quickly, blah blah, but will it be ok?

Any feedback would be wonderful. Yes, I know there are better tires, cheaper tires, but I am asking about this specific tire.

The tire sizes would be 225/50R16 and 245/45R16. The Sport Cup would be perfect for how you are using them. The are the longest wearing R compound tire we carry and they are the most streetable as well.
If I can help let me know.

I've wondered about these, how do they compare with the S02? Is this tire dramatically better on the track?

The Pilot Cup Sports don't come in 16", only 17+" from what I understand. Just the older (and currently available) Pilot's come in 16". I may have this confused for the Pilots that came out, but I think that's what you are refering to?

If you don't have a stiffer front swaybar than stock, this combination will bias the car towards oversteer. Better be ready for a wild ride.

You might be thinking of a different tire. I had PSC's in 16" on my car.
