The Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport RS, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R and Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R are regarded as three of the fastest road-legal track day tyres in the world. To find out which of these three semi slick tires reign supreme, I've borrowed a 991.2 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and have use of Michelin's tyre test facility in central France to run my own tyre testing program.
Not being satisfied with just running dry handling, I'm going to test the tyres in wet handling, dry and wet braking, and of course the all important dry handling, to find out which tyre is fastest in which conditions.
As always, any questions you have about the test, please feel free to ask in the comments, I do my best to answer everything!

![The Differences Between 19 & 20 and 20 & 21 Wheels Tested! [Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S NAO]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oiPD8dBHmdM/mqdefault.jpg "The Differences Between 19 & 20 and 20 & 21 Wheels Tested! [Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S NAO]
Have you ever wondered what difference ticking the big wheel size option makes when specifying your new car? In this video I find out! I use a new Porsche 992 911 which comes standard with 19 front and 20 rear wheels, and test them against the optional 20 front and 21 rear wheels!
Both these wheel options use the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S NA0 tire which is specifically designed for the 992 911. The standard tire sizes are 235/40 R19 front and 295/35 R20 rear and the optional big wheel size is 245/35 R20 front and 305/30 R21 rear.
As usual I test the braking performance in the dry and wet, dry lap time, wet lap time and look at the noise and comfort of the two different sets of wheels.
Does fitting big wheels to your car really ruin the handling? Do big wheels make you faster around a track? Only one way to find out! Lets get testing.
