Pirelli Trofeo R’s on Exige Cup

[Rocketreid]

I am considering changing over from Cup2’s to Pirelli Trofeo R’s but it appears you can not obtain them in OEM sizes as below :

285/30/ZR18 97Y XL Cup 2’s

215/45/ZR17 91Y XL Cup 2’s

7.5J x 17 ET26

10J x 18 ET32

The equivalents are 225 fronts and 295 rears. Clearly a size up but not necessarily any wider to foul the arches as Michelin’s do appear to come up larger against Pirelli on other sizes

So if anyone has any experience would be good to know

Actually prefer to keep the OEM sizes really Arun,

On another forum someone confirmed that you can get the Trofeos in the OEM sizes on the continent but it’s proving more difficult in the UK

Did you get any rubbing at all, particularly on the front under hard lock

Also where were you able to buy them in the UK ?
