Never heard of ''raptors''tires by Michelin.
Stock OEM S02: 205/55/16 front and 225/50/16 rear.

I've never heard of them either. This is a performance car and should get a set of premium tires.

Keep in mind that the rear tires that come standard are Bridgestone S-02s (225/50/16). If you are replacing the rear tires with something other than the S-02s, to get the same foot print size, you'll most likely have to move up to a 245/45/16 tire.

You can do a search on the forums to find more info, or check the measurements on www.tirerack.com
