4 different PS4S 305-30-20

Since there are 4 variants of the same size which one is best for our cars? My best guess would be the ones that tire rack says are for Audi. May be similar weight. The ones for Porsche are the widest tread width but are surly for a 911 so may have a different design. Any input or experience on this would be appreciated.

I just purchased the generic, non manufacturer specific ones.

I just did the same (generic). Looks great. I also put a 5mm spacer on with the 305's.

I believe that they make them specific for certain vehicles, Porsche, Audi and Aston Martin I think are three of them. It’s the sidewall and load rating that are different iirc. I could be wrong with some of this info but I vaguely remember going through this when I was getting my MP4S and some Pirelli P zero.

I just got some new 295/30/20's for the rear, and they look stretched and Fugly. Fronts look beefy 275/35/20. Is this some weird design or can the PS4s go wider?

I believe the Michelin’s run a bit wide compared to the factory Pirellis. Also there are significant differences in the same tire size depending on the spec.

Agreed, I went from a set of all season potenzas(that came on the car) to a set of Michelin ps4s and the rears look like they bulge at the bottom.
