I'm assured as I have a part worn set that came from a JLR SVR test mule that they fit just nice, and in all reality it's only another 5mm on the inner and outer tyre width (10m + overall) of course.

Anyway, bit of hot rodding never goes amiss:

295 up front is 40mm wider overall & rear 20mm. I you sure the fronts won't roll. Seems awfully wide tyre for size of rim.

Not sure how you work out its only 10 mm more when the std tyres are 255 front and 295 rear, so on the front thats an extra 40mm and on the back 30mm but if your talking svr sizes its still 30 on the front plus 15 with spacers so 45 in total and yes 10 on the back but again with spacers that makes it 25 and 20 of that will be on the outside.
It will be interesting to see the results.

Now the car sits on 305/30/20 rears and fronts 265/35/20 with 15mm H&R spacers all round, one point is the Contis have a larger rim protector than any other tire, makes the tires more aggressive looking on too.
Do you have any pictures of your car with spacers & wider Tyres?

Hi there, I am looking at replacing the rear tyres on my wifes 2017 R Dynamic 380. I don't think too much of the factory fitted Pirellis and am looking to fit the Michelins Pilot Sport 4S, is this the way to go? Completely different car I know, but when early pilot sports were fitted to my wifes MX5 ,once half worn become very unstable. Really unsure which way to go, would really appreciate more info Thanks

I changed to the P4S’s and think they are a huge improvement over the Pirelli’s

Look out for deals at Costco, come out significantly cheaper than any other place who quoted me

The moderator on the (US) Facebook owners club... a "friendly" racing driver called Charles... insists the PS4S are no better than the P0s.

I beg to differ. My rear end lost it several times on new P0s in the wet. No such problems with the PS4Ss.

That's interesting - I've not managed to get mine to misbehave, and I have tried! If the PS4Ss are better I can't wait to wear my P0s out. :D

Can anyone state if the PS4S have a protruding rubber ring to protect the rims ?

Yes, a small one, but not enough to prevent kerbing your rims.
