Can anyone tell me the standard tyre sizes fitted to a Gen 1 997 RS (One of the classic ones with a gear stick in the middle)

Need to order some new boots and currently 4000 miles from the car (So cant check) Havent bought tyres for it before, and google isn't being very helpful. Google keeps finding results for Gen 2 RS but they are a different size..correct?

Confused of Africa.

From memory:

Fr: 235/35/19 ZR 91Y
Rr: 305/30/19 ZR 102Y

Get Michelin Pilot SuperSports (not N Rated). IMO - regardless of whether you are in warranty or not - you can't get a better all round tyre for a GT3 if you do more than just track use. Better than PS2s, not quite as good as Cups...but last for ever, clear water very well on regular roads.

Cheers gents, massive help. I have Supersports fitted now so will probably replace with the same.

Got a 2.5k mile trip around Europe planned so need to make sure I have fresh rubber.

£924 delivered from Camskill seems very cheap. I paid £1000 for a set of Supersports for my CSL not long ago.
