Advice on rear cups

[mattbedford]

My car has cups on the front and odd treaded road tyres on the rear. Going to get some cups fitted on the rear so its better for track days. Can someone tell me if these are the right size that ive found on e-bay?

Rears csl wheels need 265/30/19 mate!

[mattbedford]

Yeah just noticed. Have found these ones. They are 19" and aspect ratio of 35. Is that the width of them and is that the correct size?

The correct sizes are:
235/35/19 Front
265/30/19 Rear

Also, something to note when your looking is that you want Pilot Sport Cups, and not Cup+. Cup+ we're developed for the new M3.

I think the above may be for a Porsche, and IIRC they run 265/35's on the rear.

the ones in the advert are the + version - the difference looking at them is the line throughj the outer tread block.

I have no idea if tyhey are actually a different compund - they may mix fine.

I can probbaly sort you out with a couple of rears - am checking what is kicking around in the garage this weekend.

Yes there are a different compound, designed to work better on the road in average conditions. They are placed half way between proper cups and PS2s say...
