With the rears being 355, there are only two sets of tires out there that fit. Are 345's safe to run on the car? I assume as the year progresses more will become available, but also price is a bit - uh high at the moment.

I'm hoping Michelin comes out with some tires for us. Because I noticed the same thing, 345 is as big as they go right now. I haven't compared the actual tire size of a 345 PSS vs a 355 Corsa, not all sizes are created equal.

Yeah. $2100 for the cheapest set with 355 is a bit - uh expensive.

I am goimg to put 345's on my car. The fronts are strange in that they only 25" dia. Does anyone want my corsa's. I have a set of hoosiers, therefore, won't need them.

I'll be putting 345 rears on my car. 1cm width isn't noticeable. Up front, I'll probably stay 295 wide, but I think a 305 will fit no problem. Michelin Pilot Super Sport has good sizes for the 295 and 345. Front tire is in the 26" tall range, rear is 27-28" range.

Keep in mind the oem front is 25" dia. The rears lists at 27.4, however, I measured them on the car and they were only 26.75, I will have to measure them when they are off the car.
